To the people who say; it’s just a bird……..
Parrots are incredibly complex, with very strong emotions. They need stimulation, time out, they get bored, they have tantrums, they scream, shout, they sing they dance, they chat, you can have a conversation…….
And they grieve. They feel sorrow. They feel stress and pain……
And here we have the wonderful ‘chicken George’.
And he has plucked himself. We don’t know the full history, but he lost his owner.
He then went to a lovely lady who really did her best for him. And considering she had never had a bird before, and then had George for a year, it was a massive thing for a non bird owner to do!
And now he’s with us ❤️
These photos show the emotions and mental health issues that parrots (particularly macaws, cockatoos and greys) can go through.
It’s going to be a long journey with chicken George. His feathers probably won’t ever come back, but we can try and hope. 🥹
