I work for the RSPCA and he came into work 1day and i fell in love with him, iv always had and still have cockatiels. All i know is that the lady who had him, her house got repossessed...so he had to go..then he ended up at work. iv also noticed that he has a 'bandy' leg, which looks like he has had a break, and its healed by itselt, and he has abit of muscle wastage above it..the vet said nothing he would do now as long as he is using it and is mobile. i wish i new his past to him settle. he is great and just really want to hold him and stroke him!! i try not to show fear when i go to pic him up..but its hard as ino i am going to end up bleeding! he is constantly whistling and talking to get my attention, and i do talk to him and give him food..hopefully in time he wil come round to me, even if its just so he will sit on my hand!! thanks for the advice

Hey...iv recently rescued a grey, he was abandoned so i don't no much about him/her .. apparently he used to live with a female, but thats all i know. i want this to be my bird, so im the only 1 cleaning, feeding and interacting with it..or was. my dad comes into the room he gets all excited, he wil step up for him, let him stroke him and move him, as soon as i walk past the cage he spits. i go to pick him up and he bites me drawing blood everytime. i don't pull away i just say NO. Another male came to the house and he was fine, all over him. i feel so horrible as i rescued him, look after him yet he chooses males to be friendly with and just seems to hate me . as i don't know his past its a bit hard to know what he has gone through. When we ignore him he starts jabbering away talking. if i sit with my back to him and interact, generally he wil talk back but recntly he has stopped...he now goes to bite my finger when i offer him food, as when i first got him he was fine with this. its quite upsetting that he has chosen to bond with my dad... its only early days as only had him a week or so, but where do i start with him? or her? haha ... thanks Read the full post...
