Birds of a feather? No, but close. Thanks to Parrot Rescue Center of Costa Rica, Uno now has an orange-chinned parakeet for company! (Uno is an orange-fronted parakeet.) The two have been sticking together since they were introduced today, and the new arrival got very vocal when Uno was removed from the aviary for a trip to the vet.
The not-so-good news? Uno had to have a hematoma drained this afternoon, and the vet said the wing should be amputated. We're taking Uno to Zoo Ave on Monday, anticipating surgery.
Hoping for the best possible outcome for our little feathered companion. Wildlife rehabilitation isn't always easy on either the rescued or the rescuer.
