Last month I was blessed with the opportunity to rescue 3 cockatoos and bring them home.
Only down side was I blew my truck engine on the way home. The new birds are in need of a vet check, one is almost completely featherless, and I need to have test run on all of them.
The cost for all of them will be several hundred dollars but I can manage part of it. If I didn't have to get my truck's motor replaced I could handle it all.
Perhaps I shouldn't have brought them home but they are becoming more relaxed in their new surroundings and are beginning to eat a better diet and learning how to play and interact with people. They are at their forever home now, God willing, because I don't believe theyshould be moved again; the oldest, in his 20's has finally started playing andtalking. Please, if anyone could help just a bit I know thAt I could turn these intelligent parrots lives into something good.
I've worked animal rescue and rehab for over 30 years and usually managed fine but this time I really need some help.
Some people have said just sell some of your other birds but all of them are rescues and just aren't good "pet" animals; all have been abused in some way and winning their trust has been a long, hard, albeit it rewarding job. I just can't let them go back to what they were.
Thank you for your consideration. (more) 
Needy Wish

Im sure people will prbably get upset but just for future reference I believe this wish belongs under greedy and it should probably be lowered to $100.00 which is the most this site gives. Also please do put your vet information up so people may donate directly. God Bless.
Thanks for doing what you do and rescuing these 'toos!
I wish you luck with your wish. We took in a pair of rescued lovebirds a few years back and in the first month we had almost $2,000 in vet bills for the pair. My Timneh African Grey (named Darwin!) congratualtes your 'Toos on their new home. They needed you, and you stepped up to the plate. Well done you!

5 stars from one animal rescuer to another!
My cockatoo "Bootie" says good luck and thank you!
Hope our 5 help! You should probably change the amount to $100 though so people don't downvote you. You could also ask for Paypal donations to help offset the costs, if you have an account. Best of luck!
