Post: To adopt or not to adopt

Posted by birdiegirl08 on 12/05/08

Hi,

I have recently been given the opportunity to adopt a 12
year old congo, and I'm not sure I should do it. I have
plenty of time for him, and I have plenty of experience
with the larger more demanding species, but this guy has
been through a lot and I don't know if I could actually
help him. He's a severe plucker, and hasn't been out of
his cage for two years. Is twelve years too old to do
anything for him? Can he still possibly be coaxed into
growing his feathers back, coming out of his cage and
being friendly with people again? I want to help him, but
I don't want to take him if there's nothing I can do for
him.
