·He's not a parrot, but I'm hoping it is ok to post about him in this sub-forum anyway. 
Last week the neighbours asked me if I wanted another bird. No, I don't really, but I asked them what and why anyway.
This little bird's story is so similar to many, many others.
They no longer have time for him and they want to either give him to me or set him free. Thanks neighbours, what a way to guilt trip me into taking him!
Yes, these are the same neighbours that dumped their three goldfish at my door a few weeks ago!
So I said I can take in the bird but I will probably not be able to keep it forever. Instead I can find it a good home and only foster it for the time being. They didn't care what I did with the bird. They just didn't want it.
So this is what I picked up last night.
Why are these stands, cages and horrible plastic perches not banned!?
Apparently he is a male (though he has yet to sing for me because I think he is a little stressed from the move) and his name is Tweety.
I don't like that name and I don't think he cares very much to have any more association from his previous home. So I've renamed him Snitch.
Like 95% of the birds in the world that are being given up because of lack of time, this little guy has never seen or tasted a fresh veggie before in his life. He is on an all-seed diet and has never been let out of his cage. *Sigh*
I grabbed one of my hospital cages (don't worry, these are disinfected before AND after each use) and got some natural perches for him. I had to go bushwhacking at 9pm last night to find these perches! :laughing:
Here is his temporary cage until I can get him a larger one. I am thinking of a HQ Flight Cage?
His nails are overgrown so they will need to be trimmed.
I gave him some Cos Lettuce this morning and he devoured it!
I'll give him some soft food tomorrow to see if he eats it too.
So that is Snitch's little story.
Anyone want to adopt a Canary?
