This was not a good week!

If you can adopt from a rescue it is a good thing. Altho just like with dog rescues certain conditions will apply. I looked into one bird rescue and found out that becuase I have dogs I wouldn't be able to adopt one. I bought our cockatiel from a local petshop that hand raises them. I saw Memphis when he was little and still being handfed. She was with her other brothers and sisters in a HUGE glass cage. The bottom was filled with shavings made for birds, tons of toys, and it was always clean! I think that you can buy a healthy bird from a petshop. You just have to be very careful when you do it.
