I have always loved animals, from the smallest and homeliest of wild things to the most magnificent. And it has always astounded me that people can be so cruel and uncaring. My daughter raises birds - conures, African ringnecks, Amazons, cockateils, parakeets, and some I can't remember - so I know what a healthy bird looks like, Tiki now has that look! What a lucky baby!!! I am also a special ed teacher, so I know that, although there may be "problems" in certain individuals, it's just that they are "differently abled." The love you get is all that really counts
