Cockatiels survive dog attack

Two female cockatiels, Lucky and Paige, were recently brought to the Center because they had been mauled by their owner's dog, and their owner didn't want to incur the veterinary costs necessary to bring these ladies back to health. The pictures below were taken almost a week after their surrender, but you can still see some redness on her wing.
We vetted them and they had serious injuries, although not life-threatening. They are on meds and healing up very nicely. They are currently recovering, but will go up for adoption once they've completely healed. We would like these two to be adopted together. They have delightful personalities and love eating! They are approximately 5-7 years old.
If you're interested in adopting Lucky and Paige, or any of the other cockatiels that we have up for adoption, please fill out a Bird Wanted Questionnaire!
