Responding to @SCS's questions is a good start.
WARNING: There may be unpleasantness in this post. I speak of the happy and the unhappy sides of rescue and pet ownership, so if you're sensitive, you might want to avoid certain parts that are set to a spoiler format.
"How did you get started doing this?"
Because of Clifford the Cherry-headed Conure with funny feet (splay-legs)...
I had a Dusky Conure named Elly*. I got her from Petco.
At the time, I wasn't too fluent in the way
I run a small, companion bird rescue. I hope to maybe inspire others to saddle up and help innocent creatures in need. I'm here to take questions, post stories about what I've done and hope to do in my mission to help birdies in need.
So just throwing this first post out there to get rolling.
