Were back! Nimue is...OK :? Hedoesn’t have mites, but the vet is testing for Tapeworm! How would hehave gotten that?!?! She was like "you need to keep him away from otheranimals, because it is contagious, and it is contagious to humans too!"EWWWWW :X I have no need for TAPEWORM! Well the vet bill was $100 whichwas OK, but thats my whole weeks earnings....oh well it was worth is

~Amy

 

[cuddlexoverload]

aw! poor baby. hopefully its not that.. and its just like an irritation? :-/

 

[bunnylover78642]

I hope it is not tapeworm... When I was five astray cat came around gave it to our cat, and everybody in the familyended up getting it, though we ended up fine. I really hated it and theis lots of diaherria involved. Hope everything turns out alright.

 

[ayglnu13]

Here is Nimue all ready to go to the vets! And boy was he MAD!

The crate JUST fits him, though it was orginally used for dogs :shock:

This is why we brought him to the vets, it started as a bald spot and then he scratched it and it bled

[ayglnu13]

I went to NY this weekend, AGAINT MY OWN WILL! :shock:

Can you tell I didn’t want to go???

Anyways we went to a zoo (again) and here are some pictures I took Though the trip didn’t end happy (Story at end of post)


"You cant see me can you??"

"Hello ladies"

OMG this psycho peacock just DIDNT STOP chasing the ladies!!!

Santa Goat

ATTACK DEER!!! (These deer were really SCARY!)

"Do you have my dinner?"

This poor Rhino looked SOOOO bored, I felt really bad for it. My sister and I decided that we should go and give it a hug

Attack piggies

"Barbie and Ken Llamas"

She so is barbie!

Some very cute baby goats!

Baby bear being sneaky

"ooooo fingers"

All this baby wanted to do was lick fingers

And now to the sad part of this post....

This is the bird I named "Baby"

Do you notice what is in his cage?....nothing....that’s what is in his cage. This cockatoo had NOTHING in his cage...

No perch...

No toys...

No friend...

Nothing

When we went into the "Bird Barn" it smelled SOOOOO BAD! It wasseriously one of the WORST smells I have ever smelled! Why we went inI'll never know!

There had to have been 300 birds in there, ranging from a cage full offinches to cages full of Macaws! But then I saw this cage that hadnothing in it except this lone Sulfur crested cockatoo. All the otherbirds had friends and at least a perch! I went around looking for a zookeeper to see if maybe they were cleaning it or something, I found noone, I even looked around the building for some one! I couldn’t findany one within literally a half a mile, we were the only ones!

This is what he was like when we first saw him..

If you look at his tail feathers during the movie, you will notice thatthey are completely ruined because he has to sit on the bars all day..

Here is another movie to show what his cage is like..

(at the end of this movie he turned and said “heeeeeeeelllooo” *wish there was sound*)

And here is a picture of his cage (incase the movie didn’t work)

He was one of the sweetest birds I have ever seen; I really don't understand why this bird was all alone…

His food dish was COVERED in flies, the only thing that was clean inthere was his water dish (I was VERY shocked to find it clean)

His predicament really frustrated me to the point where I was crying!And I never cry! I must have spent 45 minutes just scratched thislittle guy’s head, I really miss him.

My mom and I are going to be writing the zoo a letter, and it wont be a very happy letter either.

Thanks for listening to me rant

Beautiful pictures, Amy!

I wish you could adopt that bird. How very sad to hear that story. It's heartbreaking.

-Carolyn

 

[Jenniblu]

Amy, I would mention in the letter that you runa bird rescue and would be willing to take the bird and house it inmore asuitable environment.

Wow Gypsy and Jenniblu, Thanks for all the tips.

I will definitely do everything you both said to do!

My mom also said that if there is any way that we can adopt him we will

Most of the birds in that house were in the same condition as he was,but they all had friends and perches. Their food was on the floor, andthere were TONS of droppings on the walls, and it smelled in there likenothing I have ever smelled, and the worst was there was NO ONE aroundthere to take care of them. Ya know usually they have a zoo keeper inthere so you can ask questions and such, no such person.

I am a little worried about the letter sounding dumb so when we write it would you guys mind critiquing it?

~Amy

P.S.

If you have any suggestions for the letter I would be more then pleased to hear them

 

[ayglnu13]

I cannot believe what I just found!!!

http://www.wildlifepimps.com/CatskillFactsheet.pdf

A whole page against the Catskill game farm! Which was the place we went too! I had NOOOO idea!! :shock:

~Amy

 

[Jenniblu]

Amy, you are so kind and loving to allcreatures. I hope they either let you have the bird orimprove its conditions. You know, I've never evenexperiencedbad smelling birds/bird cages except for poorlykept chickens. How that place can have smelly cages and stillput the animals on display is beyond me.

 

[ayglnu13]

Well they werent really on display...:?

When we walked into the "Bird Garden" there were cages everywhere, butnone were filled :? We were trying to find the cafteria but we stumbledupon this big pink building which had a 10 by 10 inch sign that said"Bird Barn". It was open, so we walked in, I'm still not sure if wewere supposed to be in there :shock: but I am glad we did.

Here are some of the other birds. I am kinda kicking myself that I didnt get pictures of the other birds cages.

~Amy

P.S. There was also a cage that was the same size as the cockatoo's cage that had atleast 30 guniea pigs in it :X
