I'm glad it finally worked for you Gay and you're right - the birds do adjust quite well to new homes and new people. You're not getting a "baby" when you bring home a 2nd or 3rd hand bird, but you will get a new companion.

I got my CAG, Bey, when he was about 4� years old. His previous owner had had him sinc he was 6 monhts old. When he'd been here a year, I asked him one day about his previous owner, and named the other birds he used to live with. He listened very intently as I talked about what I knew of his former home. Then I put him to bed. The next morning, there were feathers all around his cage, and his chest feathers were really ratty and torn. That's the only time he's ever done that, and I haven't brought up his former home again. I don't know if it's grief (although I always hesitate to apply human emotion to animals) or unpleasant memories or what, but there was certainly a negative response to our "discussion" <img src="/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> .

I guess I had a second hand bird -- or he became one.
A looooong time ago, my husband and I found a pigeon in the yard, with infection in both eyes. So we grabbed the bird, went to the pet store and got medication, and nursed him back to health. (At least, that was the plan) We got rid of the infection, but he was blind, so he became ours.We nwmed him Woodstock. I would make sure he got to his food and water everyday. He was with us for a long time, but we had a very small house and when I got pregnant, Woodstock's room became the nursery. Woodstock went to live with a friend of ours and lived happily with him.

Isn't that amazing. I've heard that pigeons can be terrific pets, but I've never really had much to do with them (other than watching them fly). It was lucky for that bird that he landed in your yard when he needed help.
