Our Ruby ...

[Graehstone]

... and how it was that she came to bless our lives.

This is our Ruby today:

 

... a little ragged around the edges (like I'm perfect ... well Ok, maybe not, nobody's perfect, at least not many of us ) and there are places on her chest that will also never regrow a feather.

But that's all Ok, because our sweety had looked much much worse when we got her and we love her unconditionally just the way she is.

Check out Ruby's blog ... it hasn't been updated in a long time but it is the story of how we got her;

I think Ruby is gorgeous ! Another member, Makena, is concerned because her vet recommended Haloperidol for her plucking grey. Is Ruby still taking it, or was it short term?

I took her off of it as I saw that it was killing what little personality and soul that she had left.

She was nothing more than perch dressing and I hated it ... I saw a little person inside (albeit with problems) trying to get out and it tore me apart.

She has since re-feathered then taken her tail off, then grown it back and then remove her chest feathers and then her shoulders while regrowing ... etc ... she keeps me on my toes that one, lol.

She is much happier when not drugged up on that stuff.
