Javi



I'd like to introduce you to Javi ("Ha vee").  I'm not sure how she came to my attention but I've been following her progress on Facebook and Instagram.


Birds in stressful or neglected situations sometimes 'over preen' by pulling out their feathers.  She is now living at the Tallgrass Parrot Sanctuary.


It's a little cool to be featherless so some thoughtful soul came up with a sweater for her.  I think it's likely she will never have full plumage again.  Only time will tell.


Every girl needs a Christmas sweater.  The ring on her leg indicates she hatched in 1996.

I've taken these photos from Facebook and Instagram.  You will find her story interesting.
