Tazzy bookmarks....
For many years I've supported animal shelters and bird sanctuarys. Sometimes by adopting; sometimes by donating or sponsoring (cyber-adopting) a pet.
One of the saddest sights is the number of unwanted and abused birds in bird sanctuarys. They are especially harmed by years of poor living and some never recover - physically and mentally.
My current bird - a wonderful cockatiel named Taz - called to me from a pet store. Literally. I walked by his cage and he ran back and forth and back and forth screaming for attention. Poor guy had no tail feathers, the worst wing clip I'd ever seen and no crest feathers. My little love, Noodle, a 13 year old cockatiel had died about 2 weeks before and I didn't know if I was ready to bond with another bird but in a week or so I went back and got my sad-looking somewhat featherless buddy.
I have to say Taz took to being loved like a champ despite never having been held - ever. He loves nothing better than having a head scratch, 24 hours a day if I would. His tail is back and so are his wings. His creast is another story. While other cockatiels wear their crests proud and tall, my Tazzy, has quite the mohawk going and seems to like my son's punk rock music. I call him my punk rock-a-teil!
While I do alot of crafts, lately I have been doing alot of pictures of my little punk rockatiel and making bookmarks for friends. They seem to like them a lot so I thought maybe some of you might!
A portion of any profits will be donated to help homeless, abused and abandoned pet birds.
