Today we took the two rescued amazon parrots to be examined by Dr. Litner of Avian Medical Center in Lake Oswego, Oregon. Earlier, this week we received an email from a nice lady named
Callie Rennison of Colorado. I ended up calling Callie, who told me that she has six Lilac Crowned Amazons of her own, and she would like to sponsor our nameless Lilac Crowned Amazon! I happily accepted her offer sponsorship to pay for her vet bill!
Then I offered her the pleasure of naming this Orphaned Amazon, and Callie named this orphan parrot “Lilac”, after one of her own. Then Callie shared with me the special Instagram website she has created for her Lilac Crown flock.
I promised to share it with everyone, so, here’s the link to her Instagram web page about her Lilac Crowns;

Today Dr. Litner gave “Lilac” a complete exam, including lab work, and she discovered that “Lilac” is in near perfect health, just lacking a bit of vitamin A, so she gave her a shot, and cleaned a bit foam off the roof of her mouth, and special diet recommendations, and she requested to see “Lilac” back in two weeks for a follow up visit. Dr. Litner basically gave “Lilac” a clean bill of health, which leads us to believe that “Lilac” may have only arrived into the moldy room recently.
As well as the spunky Blue Front Amazon, I named Bad Boy Blues!, Because he loves to cry out (I’m A Bad BOY” !!!) With a loud chuckled and an infectious laugh. Mr. Bad boy just may be a female, who is sweet, and loves scratches on her head. Dr. Litner discovered that Mr. Blue has a quarantine band from Texas, and she also was given a clean bill of health.
So the Good News is; Five of these rescued parrots, get a pass to move out of the quarantine room tomorrow!
We will move them into wider cages’ with new toys and a view of the widescreen TV. Tomorrow is shower day, so after their bath, they will move up to the main room, and may be able to play outside in the aviary, (Weather & time permitting).
Let us know!
