Howdy Everyone

Dawkins, a 6 year old white cap pionus who lived in a crawlspace for 5 years before I got him
Lulee, a 3 year old green cheek conure we got her as a rehome when she was a baby.
Annie, a 4 month old black capped conure, the only normal one of the bunch
Pepper, our 15 year old foster lovebird, he is plucked and has scissorbeak but a great personality

Welcome Stephanie! I'm interested to hear about how Dawkins lived in a crawl space for 5 years! Poor guy.

Dawkins and his sister were handfed, and never sold, so his owner stuck them in a cage in a crawlspace together.. so they could breed. A girl I know in town ended up rescuing him and his sister from the owner. After five years of that Dawkins sister was completely wild but she could tell Dawkins liked people. I was looking for a white cap and after hearing his story I couldn't say no. He has bad feet, he can't bend his toes really at all. So when he does step up for us it's hard on him because he has a terrible time gripping and therefore no balance on your hand. He prefers to be carried cupped in your hand like a baby bird. He loves scritches from me and I'm just totally in love with him.

Thanks for taking him in. Did he not have perches at all? (Because I know that my crawl space is not tall in height AT ALL - must have been a small & short cage to fit in there)

I am not sure, I never got to see the setup. I think it had to do with his diet as well, he has a really bad liver from it as well. We offer him a huge variety of perches, and he gets around quite well.
