COCO saved him!!
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2006 4:50 am
Its been around a year now since we found/saved our bird.
he was only a few months old
we called him COCO
Am 27years old living in Sydney Australia
one day at work went into a unit where the tenants had ran away without paying rent, place was a mess
in a one bedroom unit they used to have 2 large dogs.
then found a bird cage, pretty bad condition, open with no bird,
i assumed they had taken the bird
Few hours later 10 stories below on a balcony i found a scared dissorientated blue IRN
he didnt have enough energy to run away
got a shoe box and put him in it barely alive.
as soon as i gave him water he kept drinking and drinking,like giving him new life
got him home,, couple of hundred dollars down due to the purchase of a new cage and accessories.
at first he was scared, but only after a few weeks he started whistling,
he wouldn't step up
but one day when cleaning his cage he just jumped onto my jumper.
He doesnt like to walk on our skin, he prefers material
now one year later he talks a few phrases, whistles and loves to come out for walks, a very emotional bird
we love him
wish i got a IRN earlier
as soon as he hears my car or my wives car he starts talking whistling and trying to get our attention, when we do finally give him attention he cries and shows so much emotion.
