This is Rosie who was rescued by the AGPC.
When she was rescued she came to live with me (Julie), Stevie and the Hobbits, Frodo and Bilbo.
Rosie arrived on Saturday 15/10/11
Ann-Marie and her partner John collected Rosie from her owner Jack who sadly had to find a new home for her due to his work commitments and her health needs; they drove all the way to Glasgow with her and handed her over to Stevie and me.
Rosie travelled well and only plucked a few times on her journey (Rosie plucks/ mutilates herself, she also has other special needs)
When she arrived I popped her in a cage and let her settle, after about an hour or so I went and let her out of the cage, she came straight to me, giving me kisses and dropping her wings.
After a couple of hours I popped her back in the cage and settled
her down for the night.
The next morning we were greeted with “Hello” from her, and she came to the bars of her cage and gave me kisses and dropped her wings again.
Although she was happy in her cage, Stevie and I decided that because she will be with us for quite a while we would buy her a new larger cage, so off out we went and bought her one, which is now being slowly filled with shredding and preening toys etc.
Rosie enjoys out of cage time, but she needs to be constantly distracted as she plucks all the time until she bleeds.
Rosie is a beautiful looking girl even without most of her feathers, she’s not a bad little flyer but her landings are a bit iffy as she has no tail feathers and some of her flights are missing too, she also was a clipped birdie, but her flights are growing back.
We know to get Rosie on the right track with her health and diet will be a long process and will take lots of time, love and patience, but we know we’ll get there with the support of the AGPC members.
