KIKI LOU- Rainbow Lorikeet's 10th Hatchday March 2013

1:54 AM | Posted by Flyings for the Birds Parrot Rescue and Sanctuary | Edit Post

The beginning:

Kiki Lou was only 9 days old when I picked her up from the breeder. I had never had a parrot, but lets just say it was on my Bucket List......it was time. When I got her in 2003 she had NO feathers and had to be fed a special diet every 3 hours with a pipet. The above shot was at about 2 weeks. Little feather pins are starting to show.

Little did I know that this little parrot would start a passion that I need to fulfill. Parrot rescue. So many parrots are sold to non trained individuals at 9 days old to be raised or bet yet starved or killed with inexperience. I am so happy that I had previous bird husbandry skills and she survived.
