I was given a very young brown cockatiel today they said it was a Cockatoo very bad health right wing broken at first when I put seed in on the floor he ate some later gave him some formula once he got a taste of it he gobbled it right down when crop was about 1/4 full I stopped so as not to cause sour crop with too much at first hope is there for him he is in quarantine until I am sure he is OK.

Cocoa--it is short & will not lend itself to a nick name--& besides, he is chocolate colored after all

Congrats on the newest addition Jimmy. It is so rewarding to nurse an animal back to health. I hope he continues to improve. Sounds like he is much happier already.

He is calling out right now.
Thank you all for your confidence in me and rooting for Cocoa my new baby. kissie

It is was great sadness I must report Cocoa died this morning snuggling under my chin. When I got up and went to feed him he came to the door chatting and got right in my hand and snuggled down I held him under my chin he made a cooing type sound and died. boohoo Thank you all for your support I told him how everyone was pulling and praying for him.

thanks everyone it is very hard don't think I could stand anymore right now. I am comforted that he had love fresh food and water last 2 days of his life.Yesterday he played with toys chatted and called to me and the parrots I would go to his door he would come up wanting held which I did held him talked to him he was so attentive when I did the parrots came to his cage and talked to him although I know they would have killed him because he was weak. He had been starved and physically abused several feathers and been pulled out in clumps as if a cat had gotten hold of him . Once again thanks you all for your good thoughts and support.
