Levi is more than a bird - he’s proof that broken things can heal with love and commitment

Auckland

Five months ago I rescued 35 year old Levi (somewhat by accident) as I couldn’t raise the money for his purchase. Long story short he was given to me and so the journey of his recovery begins. Even though I had previous experience with large parrots I had no idea what I was in for. Firstly he suffered with bad separation anxiety which has dissolved with many hours each day of dedicated reassurance. Then discovered a few weeks later a worsening limp which turned out to be grade 3/4 bumble-foot (ulcerated feet). My daughter gave me money to get him checked at an Avian vet. Along with extended courses of antibiotics, pain relief, intense daily feet treatment, padded perches and endless tlc he finally seemed to be beating this. Over the next few months he learned to trust me and we formed a bond. Roll forward to recent days when he started limping again even though the ulcers were starting to shrink. Through my tears I rung the vet to book an urgent appointment, not even knowing how I was going to pay for it. The doctor checked him and said his condition was ok considering the damage to his feet but then I should prepare to euthanise him in the near future. In shock, tears flowing once again at reception I had an absolute angel pay for our visit. With this I decided Levi is worth fighting for if a complete stranger believes in him then we’re not giving up. The next step is diagnostic tests and X-ray, follow up appointments. Please help me save Levi. Any amount is a huge blessing.

Use of funds

Diagnostic tests alone exceed $1200. The money will be for Levi’s care, vet visits and nutritional food to aide in his healing

I rescued a Gold & Blue Macaw a couple years ago who is now 26 years old. Due to the severe neglect she received from her previous owners, she came to me with chronic arthritis and chronic bumblefoot, as well as a foot that was broken years before she came to me and was very clearly never treated, leaving that foot to “heal” wrong and leaving it deformed. I’m fortunate enough to be able to afford her crazy expensive treatments, and because of it, her quality of life has significantly improved since she joined my home, and every day she continues to get a little better, all thanks to my ability to take her to a fantastic avian vet and get her the best treatments possible. It brings me so much joy to see how far my Macaw has come in just the couple years I’ve had her, and I can tell she’s more happy than ever, too, and I would love nothing more than for you to be able to afford the same treatment of your rescued Cockatoo so that you can get him into better health and enjoy each other’s company for years to come!! ❤️
