Louie
is a White-faced cockatiel who lives in Mason City, Iowa with his
brother Eddie (a normal grey cockatiel) and sister Pooky (a Timneh
African Grey). His Hatch Day was May 14th and he turned eleven years old!
He is such a special little bird that my husband and I rescued from an
irresponsible frat boy when we were in college.
He came to us in a twelve-pack generic soda container when he was about five
weeks old. We took him in from a "friend of a friend" who supposedly
didn't ask his landlord if he could have pets. Apparently, the breeder
who sold him would not take him back, and the guy was going to let him
loose outside. We took him in, not knowing that he was unweaned until
he showed up at our door! We learned how to hand feed him and we did it
for about six weeks. I guess we did it right, because he grew up to be a
slightly plump little bird with a healthy appetite.
Louie likes to sing when you show him a box of wheat thins and he can
meow like a little kitten. He has grown up to be the sweetest little
bird ever! We are so lucky that Louie ended up with us and not out on
the street to fend for himself.
We like to call Louie our "Sweet Little Angel!" We love him so much.
