Makeeba came to us early summer of 2010. Her previous bonded owner died after a long suffering illness. Unfortunately, Makeeba never took to the rest of the family, and as a result went into a huge depression where she lost weight and plucked herself bald over most of her body. Her family knew they couldn't do anything to help her, and contacted us for help.
Now, Makeeba is in her foster home (who is also a parrot behaviorist) in Tacoma, WA. Her weight has finally leveled off, and she is eating healthy again. She has several nervous habits that she is being retrained and rehabilitated for, as well as working on getting her weight up.
She has bonded with her new foster mother, and we hope that between the bond and her foster mother's expertise, that Makeeba will hopefully be healthy emotionally and mentally, that she will get her weight where it needs to be, and eventually be fully feathered again. Due to Makeeba's current emotional and physical condition, Makeeba is currently a permanent foster.
