- 2 Green Wing Macaws, One female 14yrs old named babs and a 7yr old Male Named Kiko
I adopted/ Bought, a 7 yr old Male Green Wing Macaw about a month and a half ago.
When I adopted him, he was a little ragged around his tail feathers, Did think much about it because Maybe they were keeping him in a small cage and just didn't tell me.
They said he lived on a Playstand all the time, But you just never know.
When we brought him home all was fine for awhile, he warmed right up too us, and was a sweet bird.
Well one night I woke up screaming, to find Kiko on the floor, I assumed it was a Night Fright.
I Placed him back onto the play stand and went off to bed.
Days went by, no more "Night Fright's" , Then again.
So I got on here and started asking questions, and you were all so helpful, at this point I was starting to think seizer's ( spell check ).
So I placed him into a Cage at night only, and they stopped. I also has placed a Night light in the room also.
So I even went and got him a bigger cage, and all was fine.... Until........
Saturday Aug 30 2014 2am.
My husband was sleeping on the couch when we was woke at 2am with a thud and screaming, he got up too find my Female macaw (babs) who lives on a Play stand 24/7 and Kiko at the bottom of his cage twitching.
He called for me, not knowing I was already flying down the stairs.
Long sad story short, Kiko was having seizers every 20 mins and they lasted anywhere from 15-30 sec.
I was holding him and it was just so traumatizing.
At 9am once the vet's office opened, we ran him there.
There was nothing they could do.
They told us that he must have a Brain Tumor, and that the family who we adopted him from had to have know something wasn't right with him.
The Vet said it didn't matter if we had 10k we could never fix him.
So we had Kiko put too sleep. They said he was such a good bird, that they all took turns holding him, They gave him some Gas to make him sleepy, and he never fought them at all.
He went so peacefully.
They put him in a Beautiful Box shaped like a little casket, and made a Foot impression for me with his name on it.
We brought him home and buried him near a tree.
The reason for my story, is Please Please Please, as for the name of the vet the bird your about to buy, look over the bird very good, as a ton of questions, and or just stay away from Craigslist.
I did look and ask questions, but they had a quick answer for everything.
I did text them and told them kiko had to be put too sleep, they never said anything back too me, How could they not even care to respond.
Heartless People.
Kiko had a wonderful short life with us, he was loved so much.
WE MISS HIM so MUCH.
and Babs is so lonely.:red:

What a terrible, sad situation. I know Kiko was glad to spend his last month with you where he was well-loved and cared for.
. Absolutely heartbreaking. 
I agree they had to have known. That's why they got rid of him and lied. Did they have the nerve to ask you for a rehoming fee? Again, I'm very sorry.
