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.

time to care for him and
can’t handle him
well--husband did all
the handling.
Must be Placed by
August 30, 2009 if
possible
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. |

Notes
Snuggles is a very
affectionate cockatoo,
who thrives on human
attention. He is an
escape artist, but never
wonders far from his
cage. He does not like
raised volumes (TV,
radio or people yelling)
and always lets you know
if the tone needs to be
lowered! He likes music
and dances to the fast
paced polyrhythmic
tunes. Bird specialists
say since he was hand
feed by me, our roles
shifted from a
"mother-child"
relationship to him
identifying me as his
mate. I have done all I
have been advised to do
and he wont stop
prolapsing. It breaks my
heart to let him go but
as I cannot be around
him I see no other
option. He has gotten
stitched 6 times (purse
string, and sutras) and
a few days ago he
received hormone shots!
I have all the vet
paperwork and if
anything is
requested/required I
will be happy to
provide. |

Reason for Giving Up
Husband’s job requires
him to travel all of the
time and we have a cat
who has been trying to
get to the parrots all
too often. I feel
placing them in a new
home is the safest for
them.
