Mabel

This is Mabel, she is the only Amazon Parrot I have left with me now, we can trace her back to 1968 where she was found in some woods with her dead mate by her side and she was badly mauled, She only has one wing, but she is beautiful.

Thanks BB, she is very well loved, I once had 8 Amazons, now I am down to just Mabel, I can't take any others on, I don't have the life span for them now :o(

Mabel looks very happy....
.. congrats on looking after her so well..

Does she have trouble with her balance, having only the one wing ? ...does she compensate with her tail ?

" Red " says Hi cousin :)

She does compensate with her tail Terra, when she is out on top and moving around she brings her tail to the side where her half wing is. Obviously making the weight more or less even for herself...........

Thanks 'Red', hope you are well and keeping those 'humans' of yours in line :o)
