Ozzysmom

He has come so far. He no longer bites much I am so happy with him

Finally got a picture of Ozzy playing on his back. He is doing much better, we are able to have him step up, he gives kisses, makes a ton of different noises and is just a gem. This picture we were playing with him he was on my daughters hand and she put it down to let him get off and he rolled onto his back.

Not here, he is a rehome so I am not sure what all he has heard, they lived on a farm if that helps. Maybe he is trying to impersonate an owl lol

Now I have to check ozzy lol never noticed them but now curious

Listen to all these guys at this sanctuary

Part 1 Part 2 Part 3

That is horrid, those poor babies I found this too

So I recorded Ozzy when he was on a roll, he makes two noises and the first one i think is our smoke detector when it is low on batteries or hammer what do you think. I have no clue what the second one is any ideas? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDVyBcrTbXg

Good news! A beautiful species thought to be endangered is not. The yellow-eared parrot of Colombia was thought to be extinct until 1998 when a tiny population of 81 was discovered in the Andes mountains. Equally surprising and welcome, is the very recent news that population has grown to 1,000. Because of the rebound, IUCN announced the rare bird's conservation status has been downgraded from critically endangered to just endangered. Moving the bar in such a positive direction has been no easy feat, and has involved the efforts of 47 organizations around the world and 180 individuals. Over the last eleven years they have collaborated to protect the few remaining yellow-eared parrots, to conserve their natural habitat and increase their numbers in the wild. ABC's President George Fenwick said, "This stunning and truly remarkable success shows what can be achieved when committed organizations, institutions and individuals come together with a clear and common purpose — to save a species." In Colombia, the leading conservation organization Fundación ProAves played a key role. They designated a Parrot Conservation Corridor to protect the land where they live, and acquired 10,000 acres critical to their survival. Also they assisted with reforestation of those areas to rejuvenate their habitat. For the last seven years they managed a Next Box program which created nesting sites for the parrots. The additional nesting sites helped increase the parrot population directly. Another program to reduce consumption of the wax palm tree, which is a very important part of the parrot's habitat, was begun. (The parrots live in these trees.) Wax palm tree conservation was supported also by the Catholic Church there, and it was effective. For now, the parrots are doing much better, but even with a population rejuvenated to its current status, it remains endangered and still requires help. The following organizations assisted in bringing the parrot population back from nearly dying out. ProAves Fundacion American Bird Conservancy Loro Parque

Ivan has been found! He is now at home safe and sound, eating blueberries

Thanks for letting me know.

I feel terrible for Ozzy his foot from the ankle down is completely sideways. I was told it was fixed as a baby but what vet would splint a foot sideways? Anyway I am considering saving up some money ( I am assuming it will be costly) to have it fixed if it can be has anyone had a bird have his leg fixed after it has been set a certain way for years?
