Henry

Henry went to the vet recently, and his report saddened us all. Both of his legs and one of his wings were broken at one point and healed improperly. He is a wild-caught parrot, so we're not sure if the injuries were sustained during his capture or after. With the abuse he's suffered, it's amazing he's as personable as he is!

Henry is calming down since being with us. His cage is next to Peru's, and the two birds like to be near each other.

We already have two sets of Aratinga conures that cohabit -- Sasha and Kellie and Millie and Cleo. Given the interest that Henry and Peru have for each other, and the slim chances of finding them separate homes that will provide them the same level of companionship that would come from each other, we are working towards caging them together.

Millie and Cleo needed to be groomed this past weekend. They made it easy on us to transport them to the area where we groom by going into a soda box. Once in the contained area where we groom, you can see them peering out of the box (that's Cleo up front and you can just see Millie's beak).They are quite amenable to being groomed -- as long as they don't have to leave each other's sight. With any luck, Henry and Peru will soon reach the same level of companionship as these two!
