Parrot of the Month

Devastating News. Abby was killed tragically in a fire last month. We mourn her loss.

Abby was a beautiful, Sulpher Crested Cockatoo, who was resuced along with two other cockatoos, . Andy and Freedom, from despicable condtions. Abby went through a period of fighting for her life, after a surgury to remove a golf ball sized tumor that she had suffered with for over a year. She was convalescing nicely at the time of the fire.

Abby, Andy and Freedom were rescued from breeders who spent years selling off their offspring but did nothing to correct their life threatening problems. A fund has been established for them at http://www.ziggyshaven.com/Gilmorebirds.html - Ziggy's Bird Haven is a non-profit with 501-C3, meaning any donation you make is tax deductible. Even though Abby has passed away, there are outstanding medical bills to pay.

That these birds survived as long as they did under such adverse conditions is a testament to their spirit and desire for life. Sadly, Abby has been cruelly snatched from us, but Andy and Freedom have a better life ahead.
