Welcome to the SKMB - I love to listen to the Russian accent - we have a Russian doctor at the hospital where I work and I think his accent is so cute!

Bonzai and I also welcome you.

Where are Bonzai's feathers?

 

[50's Kid]

He is a White-Eyed Conure, and the Conures are bad for plucking their own feathers. He looks a little better now, but I think he did permanent damage to most of his feather follicles.
Some companion birds get depressed and do this feather plucking (don't try to say that fast) behavior, and this may have been what happened to Bonzai before I got him. I am the fifth owner/guardian, probably because Conures are very loud for such a little bird.
It took me 6 weeks of encouragement before I could touch him, and I am still the only person who can do so. Even my former boss, who has three rescued birds, in addition to her Citron Cockatoo, can still not touch him.

Good for you for taking him in. Poor little guy looks so wounded, tell him he is beautiful every day!

I call him "pretty bird" often. He is a very loveable bird, and sits on my shoulder or leg while I eat or watch a DVD movie. After a while, he will go to sleep, there.
