Love Your Bird: Moggie the Cockatiel
Moggie’s (a cockatiel) tip of his beak was chipped off by his parents (birds) when he was a hand raised baby. The pet store owners were going to euthanize him for that reason. My aunt and I were in the store purchasing our bird food and my aunt would not allow them to euthanize him. Aunt Amy purchased Moggie for $20 along with an $80 cage. My aunt went to her heavenly reward in 2010 making sure her will had a codicil releasing Moggie to me.
He is free flighted and loves to show off his flying skills. A little bird but a large ‘birdonality’! Always willing to show his appreciation for daily room service by wolf whistling at me.
