Number6 Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 These people have a 9 year old Grey on CL for $550us. I don't recall ever seeing a bird plucked this bad:( I've seen them bare, but not plucked all over like this one. http://easttexas.craigslist.org/pet/374564084.html <br><br>Post edited by: Number6, at: 2007/07/21 22:55
judygram Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Michael, that is so sad and I bet they are selling it because it is no longer beautiful to them without the feathers. How anyone could do that is beyond me. I only hope someone gets it that will give it a good home and the love and attention it obviously needs. Thanks for calling our attention to this.
Tari Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 If I had the money and lived near by Id go get that bird. But I do have more then four birds.......
Number6 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 Not sure where exactly they are, but it's in my area. No $$ though. And I couldn't imagine the vet bills:( They also say they have a much younger grey that they carry with them everywhere. Guess they want to just trade this one in:angry:
HeatherStrella Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 It looks like it's so sweet...the way they're handeling her. Poor baby...I wonder why they'd have birds if they're travelers.
Talon Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 How sad! Someone needs to rescue that poor bird. :ohmy:
Guest briansmum Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 poor little thing. if it get so stressed out traveling then why on earth has it taken them so long to make the decision between travelling and their grey. seems like they've falled out of love with it because they have a new one that's "better"
birdgranna Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I just want to save him...does someone live near the poor baby that could make them an offer? I don't even live in the US . If you got some good feather vitamins and put him on a good diet and misted him, kept him clean, stress free there likely would be no need for huge vet bills. Please someone save him:(
Talon Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I agree with you birdgranna. Some one needs to rescue him. :( It shouldn't cost anything to get him back to being healthy. Just love, attention, and good care.:dry:
Number6 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 I would, but vacation broke me. I don't even know of any bird rescues in the area.
Talon Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 I would rescue him, but I'm far away, and I don't think 2 greys would get along so well at my house, considering they would both be out of their cages most of the time.
birdgranna Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Where is this poor creature located? If we can find out maybe we can go from there?
Number6 Posted July 22, 2007 Author Posted July 22, 2007 There are people in the dallas area on the "other" forum, maybe one of them could help. (CD knows who I'm talking about ) The bird is in East Texas area. East of Dallas. Chances are.. it's within a 1 hour drive of me. If you look in my profile, I'm on the map Post edited by: Number6, at: 2007/07/22 04:39<br><br>Post edited by: Number6, at: 2007/07/22 04:58
Guest Monique Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Feather plucking is very common in greys. It says she was abused the first few years and then they apparently got her. Don't assume that they are what "caused" her plucking. Obviously they intended to include her in their lives and it has turned out their lifestyle doesn't work for her so they are working on finding her a new home. That is WONDERFUL of them .
Talon Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 Yes Monique, it is wonderful that they are looking for a good home for her. It's just sad to see that she has had such a rough time of it at such a young age. I only hope that her next home if her final, & most loving home she can have.:dry:
danmcq Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 This is sad, as all have said. I agree with Talon and Monique. They probably bit off more than they could chew with there experience level and perhaps $$ to properly get this beautiful Grey re-feathered. The photo collage seems to show that this Grey is more than happy to have human contact and even some snuggling at times. :-) Personally, I hope this Grey is purchased by a loving family, rather than a rescue that would mean re-homing at least 2x more
Toni Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 awwww, I wished I lived near that area. I would adopt her. So sad.
Shawzy4 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 If there is someone close to this birds location and willing to take on the responsibility of rehousing it i would be willing to Donate £50 ( not sure wot that would be in us$) to that good cause....
Number6 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 ^^ That is VERY commendable I would be willing, let me see if I can get a little more info. I sent them an e-mail earlier.
Shawzy4 Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Yes Number6 find out wot you can and keep us informed.
Talon Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Michael, You need to find a forever home. I'm sure some of us here would be willing to pitch in $ and help if able. Keep us posted please. :dry:
SFsailor Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 That bird won't sell for any $$. Thats crazy of them to ask for any. They should pay someone money to take care of the poor thing.
danmcq Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 The kindest thing to do, would be for them to turn the poor guy into a rescue that would care for him, nuture him back to good health and plummage. Then they would find a good home for him :-)
