cag no foot.

:)Just wondering if anybody saw the news two nights ago about a african grey with only one leg and hasnt had a good sleep for long enough because of his balance,he lost his foot after a wild animal got hold of him, .now scientists are trying to make a false leg that can slot onto the perch so he can at long last have a good sleep such a sweet looking bird too.

Yes, thats the one Tracy. It is very cool that they went to such extremes to help out a disabled CAG. It just goes to show how people really do have a heart most the time. :-)

There are some wonderful caring members of our society and even of our forum, I know of some here that have a heart of gold and I think the world of them and I have told them so. If you have some that you feel that way about just tell them:kiss:

Yes I agree, it is just amazing how technology has come and that people out there that have the knowledge will help our little fids out! Some people would just say no I'm only making this for people, than there are others with those big hearts for everything and anything and they make our world a whole lot better! It was a great story in the end!

yes it is great that some people out there are gona do there all to help this african grey,my little girl of 3 was crying when it was on the news:( her words-oh poor birdie mummy,im glad Bernie is safe,but im happy they gona fix the birdie up. I thought how sweet off her

to stop and take notice.

Yes that is so sweet coming from a 3-year old to think of others besides herself like so many do these days, you are raising her right, Wendy.

[wendy75]

thank you judygram. she is so much a little birdie lover,spends time caring for the wild birds in the garden.And even asked her nursery school if they could get a bird table,so the children could feed the birds! so when she saw the same bird as hers with no foot she was so upset.

[lovemyGreys]

You are raising a good kid there Wendy, i only wish other parents installed the caring nature into their children these days.

WOW!! what a great little girl you have!! My sister is a lot like that too. When she was aroung 2 she ahd to hold "all the poor little animals" even if they were healthy...they were the poor little animals!! LOL

[wendy75]

i think its a nice thing to have children that have a thought for animals,and people.plus like you say mommafawkes kids do say the sweetest things,perhaps thats where our sweet birds get it from.
