Mark - not all my rescues started out that way. R2 our little BFA is in love with John and will tear my hand off if I try to get near her when he's around. An Budgie the scarlet who also loves John will attack me every chance he gets. When Budgie came to us we could work with him for months because of how bad his feathers were. Now he's got feathers and attitude.

I also get a lot of great advise from Barb (SCBR). I keep threatening her that when Budgie acts up I'm going to give him to her ;-)

Here's what Budgie looked like when we first got him


Here's what he looked like a couple of months ago
