Mary, as you know there is never a free bird. This little guy looks like he needs a good vet visit, a change of diet, and a good supply of toys to keep his beak in shape. I hope he finds a good home.......

So true what Gary says.

I sure hope (most especially since this bird is free to the new owners), that they spend the $$$ for a good A.V. check-up/tests - if there is any doubt as to his health. I also hope they provide him with all that is necessary to get him into tip-top shape - to include a super healthy diet, proper lighting and full flight if possible (in a safe flight/area of course). Maybe you can get the new owners to join up here and keep us up-dated as to his progress. Sure would be thrilling to hear about that on a regular basis.

Ipoh will be in GREAT hands, I have already printed out everything they need to know about Ekkies, I am very familiar with them, I had one at the rescue for almost a year and read everything I could get my hands on. I also gave them the name of my avian vet they are planning on making an appointment for as soon as they get him. Did I mention they live 3 houses down and I've known them for over 20 years. They are great people and I will be here anytime they need a thing.
Their computer is out of wack so i also printed them out an ad I was sent by dell and wrote this address on it, I hope they join also there are so many wonderful people here

Yes Gary, there is no such thing as a free bird....if anyone should know that---I do.

Angel---cost---free---initial vet bills first six months $1500

Lucy and Ethel ---adoption fee $800 and initial vet bills 1500--2000 dollars.

So yes, you are so right.

But as they say, it isn't about saving money---It is about saving a life.

Let us hope we can find a home for this one

I hope so too, it sounds like he may have a home & I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed.

Just curious as to whether he's in his new home yet.

The owner had to go out of town and is suppose to call Chuck & Robin tomorrow...please keep your fingers crossed.

What ever happened with Ipoh?!
