Buddy's Story
He quickly learned that he is loved. He has a large cage, toys, and plenty of love. Buddy we found out has had seizures in the past. He has had one sense he has been here.
As you can see Buddy is BEAUTIFUL.
We have changed his diet to high protein which also includes
lots of fresh fruits and veggie's .
He will be going into the vet to get his beak trim and nails done. Buddy will also be getting blood work done at that time.
Buddy is a great bird, he loves to play, eat, talk, cuddle and he LOVES his blanket!!
I will post updates on Buddy, So many folks are following his progress.
Thank you

Update :
Back when I first posted Buddy's page, I was under the influence that Buddy was nine and had been neglected and abused, suffering from seizures all his life.
Puts a nasty picture in your mind! I felt so bad for Buddy.
One day last week a then, a rescue contacted me with some wonderful news.
Buddy's foster mom had found Buddy's picture on an ad that was posted down state.
She contacted the rescue and asked if this birds name was Buddy and if he had a history of seizures?
They received pictures from her of Buddy at a younger age and as they say, the shoe fit!

Today is 2/5/13 and I got a phone call from a very nice woman that found Buddy's vet records. How we need them as Buddy has had another seizure on 2/3/13. That is 31 days since his last one. The new information we are getting will really help Buddy and his vet.
Buddy is still doing very well, he has not grown any of his feathers back but he is so BEAUTIFUL I don't think he needs them.
Buddy has had another seizure 3-4-13, so he is averaging every 30 days. Vet says he is doing very well, but needs a beak trim and nails. I was told that Buddy was surrendered because of aggression issues but we haven't had any problems with that, as long as he likes you!!
He will not go out of his way to attack! He is much too lazy for that!

Update 2018 Summer: Buddy is Enjoying the summer with his mama. He loves when she scratches those pin feathers. He is one Special Boy and has been loving the fresh air. He has been having more and more seizures.
Summer 2018: It is with sad hearts that we have to say this was buddies last Picture. It was such a blessing to have as it was his favorite thing to do. Swing on his swing. He loved to sit for hours just rocking on his swing. Unfortunately, a few months would pass and we would loose our buddy to a massive seizure. He died very peacefully. He will be buried on the property where he loved to walk on the ground, pick up rocks, and mushroom hunt. No words can express how much he is missed.. Even our blue and gold Carrington has picked up his voice and we swear sometimes we hear him. Its a blessing that she learned her buddy she calls him. We want to thank Melinda, one of buddy's owners for the absolutely gorgeous painting she did of buddy in his younger years. (with all his feathers). It means so much to see him with that life in his eyes and to have that special memory is so kind. So here is to Buddy, May he rest in Peace.
