Hello!

[aubs1220]

Hi I am Aubrey. I have been a vet tech for 12 years and have owned a ton of animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, reptiles, and of course, birds! I had Lola, a Blue Fronted Amazon for 13 years who passed away about 6 months ago from a grand mal seizures( the first one I had ever seen her have- necropsy came back negative for any toxins or obvious physical causes). I recently fostered a Quaker who I fell in love with, and of course he found a home right away.

I have recently taken in a Cockatoo named Kasper whose family no longer had time for him after having a baby. They had him since he was a hatchling ( he is currently 14). He has been in my home for a total of 12 hours now. I have pretty much just talked to him, and held his foot through the cage (a habit of his). I am excited to see where this journey takes us, and I would like to get him to be a more social bird that can hang with our family and become well adjusted. I know I have some work, and am ready for it. So any suggestions, questions, advice, or anything would be helpful! So Hello and Thanks!

Welcome to the forum! There's a few people on here with toos so they may be able to give you some pointers. That's great that you're fostering theses birds
