This is yet another abused bird that will spend the rest of his life in my home, or at least the rest of my life :-) Gadget has been in a wonderful home for 2 years, but was abused before by kids who tried to flush him down the pot, then Gadget bit the kid!! I think I would have too!! He was then called a MEAN bird! Gadget gives kisses everytime anyone gets close to him. Believe it or not, he will go to anyone, even kids. Gadget is a very poor eater, so he needs to be given baby bird food daily to keep him healthy. That's why the lady who had him can't keep him anylonger, she has to be gone alot now & just doesn't have the time he needs. She was wonderful to him for 2 years. She taught him to love & trust again, she did a fine job of it too :-)
UPDATE ON GADGET September 4, 1998
We got Gadget at the end of June, he wouldn't eat a thing other than sunflower seeds & the baby food formula that I hand-fed him. He is now eating almost everything I put in front of him :-) We are really lucky that he has started eating well this soon after comming into our home. It could have taken months, years, or even never. We are truly blessed to have this beautiful guy :-)
