JeffNOK Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I'm such a sucker for these "bittersweet" stories. Thought I would share it with all you other bird loving "softies" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaileysPapa Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 I have seen that many times, and it makes me cry every time. But, I'll watch it again & again. I had a very old Grey with arthritis in his feet and legs, and lost the ability to perch. I outfitted his cage in a similar way. And carried him around in a sling around my neck, like you'd use for a broken arm. Special needs birds are special birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRSeedBurners Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Hard to watch, couldn't finish it. To close to home. Reminds me of the last six months with Raven only she never got better just gradually worse. I agree with BaileysPapa about special needs birds. You really develop a deep bond that is hard to lose.

danmcq Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 (edited) Thanks for sharing this jeff. It was bitter sweet. What a joy it is though, to see a family that embraced the event and found ways to still provide a disabled bird friendly environment. You can tell both bird and humans are still enjoying each other and are deeply in love. I enjoy videos and stories like this because they demonstrate a disabled critter need not be put to sleep and forgotten like a throw away device. It demonstrates an example for owners of all types of creatures to follow. Edited November 21, 2013 by danmcq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
