Cockateil help...

[king2005]

I remember Digi! While I know nothing about birds, I'd sure love to see some pix of Digi!!

You should remember Digi looking something like this

Thin, shaved, abused, wounds, weak, infections, & horrid anxiety issues.

This is Digi now

You can see how much of her fur has grown back.. its not all back, & most of the hairs that were shaved have split ends from the damage. So I just have to wait many more months for those hairs to fall out & be replaced my healthy hairs. She still has leg, side & chest hairs growing in in patches. Her tail is VERY pretty & she has bat ears hehe

You can see her leg & chest hair in this one


Thats ALL butt hair!!!! its 6" long!!! It waves as she walks.. its sooo funny & elegant...


3 months ago she weighed 35lbs.. Haven't weighed her since my car accident as I've been too sore & tired to do much of anything. Shes lucky I walk in the field as long as I do, as I still have bad days...

She'll be 1yr old Aug 1st (made up b-day.. she was born late July, but I have no idea when, so I just picked Aug 1st).

I'm not posting it in dog general, cause I always get shunned in there, just because I have different views/opinions on things... So please don't ask me to post in there.

I haven't had a bird in many years, I just wanted to say it's nice to "see" you around! Good luck with the bird, and thank you for taking it in. Also, great job finding out all of your information about the bird; the way you do your research is commendable!

Hope you're doing well.

Sorry about your car accident.

And I can't see the pictures of Digi.

Looks like everything has been pretty well covered. I did want to add one thing regarding the a/c though. Your bird will be fine with any temperature you are comfortable at. Drafts are one thing to be aware of though with the a/c. Where you keep her cage should be completely draft free. A draft can easily make you bird sick. Also be careful of any fans, ceiling fans or otherwise. Never have a fan blowing on your cockatiel and be sure she is never getting a draft from a fan. Also of corse never have a fan on while your bird is out of her cage. Some birds can still fly even if their wings are clipped and a fan can be deadly.

Congratulations on your newest addition.
