Okay, so today I popped into one of the pet shops I like to visit (to see the birds go figure) and there, on the check out desk, sitting on a wooden plat stand chewing quietly on a seed was the most adorable ****atiel I have ever seen! Grey and white, but it looked to be freckled with the grey. Anyways, I asked whose it was and the young guy who worked there told me the following story:
A woman had brought this little baby in to the store. She had ''found'' it near her house and she was worried about it. The poor thing had mites, had its wings clipped (more like butchered!!! - ALL feathers were chopped, including at least one blood feather - amazing the poor thing didn't bleed to death!!!). So she brings this poor bird into the store and they take it in. They got it vet care, med's for the mites and loads of love. It was scared, sick and hungry when it got to them. The woman (in my opinion an angel) told them that the man who had it (I guess she knows who it is) saw it land on the ground (outside) and didn't bother to go get it (he told her he figured a cat would just get it or whatever).
Okay, dab your eyes and get fresh tissues.
So there is this young guy who works at that store, he's a nice kid (about 18 - 20 maybe) and he has a real gentle disposition, real nice kid. So he took the responsability of rehabing this baby and needless to say they bonded REAL tightly. So, this baby (I forgot it's new name) has a new poppa and is such a sweet baby. She will step up for anyone, and is just about a year old. He is absolutely smitten with the baby and she with him. She makes no noise except the rare click. I held her for a moment and she LOVES head scritches. I'm talking turning her head nearly completely around, eyes closed and crest a flutter loves them.
Okay, tissues in the trash bin
...
So, that's my happy story for the day.
