Save a Cockatoo! - Page 9

Hi Swankers!

I come to you with an important plea - a friend of mine who works for a vet's office just called. They need to find a home or foster for a cockatoo (the big white and yellow bird), with cage and all. It's free.

I would take him in a heartbeat, but he carries Polyomavirus, which is highly contageous to other birds. He has to take a daily medication, which the vet is willing to give a lifetime supply as well, and the bird is trained to do it - he sees the syringe and opens his beak.

It is not contageous to humans or other pets.

He talks, he's quite a happy bird, and otherwise healthy, but must go to a home without any other birds.

The vet's giving him until the end of this week to find a home, otherwise they'll have to euthanize him, since he's taking up space in their isolation area.

If anyone's interested in taking him, please contact me ASAP. He's located in Westminster.
