Special Needs Birds Love It Here

Many of my clients are birds that need a stress-free place to stay.  Whether they are feather destructive, elderly, or arthritic, they have a fun time here.  Sammy, the cockatiel above, has severe arthritis and needs meds twice a day to keep him comfortable.  I outfit the small bird room with ladders, shelves, heaters, etc. to accommodate the older birds.  (I have a blue crowned conure that is 38+ years old.)

The naked bellied grey is my newest challenge.  I've renamed her Lacey because she is so feminine that "Ace" didn't seem fitting.  She is slowly becoming acclimated to this environment.  She now comes out of her cage and eats her veggies with gusto.  She is caged near two other greys which seems to intrigue her!  She hasn't been in the company of others before!  It helps to have her watch the others enjoying their spray showers and then receive her own.  It's less scary that way.
