Notes  Angel is a good bird the problem with him is that when we got him we were told that we could train him to go to bathroom in his cage and we did. The thing is he always wanted to be out with us, so we told him before you come out you need to go to the bathroom which he did. The only thing from always pushing to go to the bathroom he got a problem with his rectum. I have had it repaired many times it seems to last the longest time when there are people in the house. Now that I am divorce there is no one home very much. I will be happy to pay for surgery to fix him and I feel as long there is someone to be there for him he will be fine that is what the Vet thinks.

Location  Pelham (Westchester County)

Date in Program  July 2009

Notes  I just want him to have a good home where he is well taken care of by people who can handle him.  Rocky is a screamer at times, so I think he is better for someone who has a house!  Rocky has been a wonderful addition to our home for the past eight years.  However, since my separation I cannot give him the attention he needs and I am not able to handle him, as he is not tamed by me.  He was tamed by my husband.  Rocky is potty trained.  He goes to the bathroom on newspaper placed around his cage when he is outside of it.
