This is the feel-good post to end the pre-Thanksgiving website. Posting will be light tomorrow as I want to have a holiday, too.
Here’s the video story of an elderly (60 year old) cockatoo who had lived in dire conditions and, after his owner died, got taken into a sanctuary and rehabbed. Fred the Cockatoo makes a great recovery, although he’s missing a wing, and becomes quite vigorous and affectionate.
Sadly, because captive cockatoos live about 50-70 years, Fred probably doesn’t have a long time left. But at least his golden years are happy ones.
Lovely, thanks.
Thanks for the happy story!
Jeez! What a bonzer, beaut story. Goodonyer, Fred! (From one Aussie to another)
There is another very recent rescue cockatoo story, also very happy news as rescued cockatoo becomes calm and friendly and learns to play with cockatoo-toys. The one that isn’t Fred is Edgar.
The other cockatoo rescue is on laughingsquid.com
Another really lovely story
Thx Jerry. A lovely feel-good story.
