Baby Dove, and the rest of the birds

[bernie_laraemie]

We got a new *~*fabulous*~* camera recently and of course one just has to take pictures of birds.

The birds are all set up in their own room now, with their filter and their heater, their own lamp and even their own sink. The room they are in used to be a kitchen and having a sink so close is the best thing ever, really.

Here's Toby:

Aww, they're all adorable. I miss my doves. *sadface*

[bernie_laraemie]

Oh no! What happened? You had two, right? Hoppity and Woo? I think? I'm terrible with name remembering.

I hope everything is okay.

I was forced to rehome them because it turned out they were either causing or contributing to my bird fancier's lung. And about 2 weeks before I surrendered them to foster care, my 'tiel, Winston, died very suddenly. So, last year was majorly sucky for me. The only good thing was, because the local parrot rescue group wouldn't work with me, I decided not to surrender my Sennie, and my lungs cleared up anyway, so I was able to keep her.

I still miss Woo and Hoppity. Last I heard, the foster family decided to keep them, and think they're as cool and wonderful as I do. They were supposed to get in touch, but never did, so I can only hope the birds are still happy and doing well.

Man, that is crap. The rescue wouldn't work you?

I'm glad they found a home, and that you've still got your Sennie.

The dove rescue was willing to find Woo and Hoppity a foster home for 3 months, to give my lungs a chance to clear, and if that didn't happen, I would've gotten them back. The parrot rescue refused to do that. It was kind of unbelievable, because they knew damn well I wasn't just carelessly and thoughtlessly dumping her (in fact, I probably made myself sicker because I refused to part with my birds sooner), and was totally freaking out about possibly losing my flock for good. At the time, I was really upset, and felt it was incredibly unfeeling and heartless of them, but if they hadn't been jerks, I never would've known I could keep my Sennie, you know?

hugs.

Re: hugs.

I'm so sorry, though glad you're doling better. It sucks that it's so hard to find anyone, even rescue groups, who are willing to help in these situations.
