Video: My U2 Maxi flying outside!

[Rita]

Hello Maddy,

What a sad story about the first 2 years of Jesters life.
I can imagine he was so stressed about his bad living-conditions that he started to pluck his feathers.
I just do not understand people like the first owners of Jester.
Why do they want an intelligent animal like a Cockatoo and then do not give it the care it needs.
Even worse, in my opinion this was pure neglect and animal-abuse. Poor Jester.
Luckely he was surrendered to that rescue and fosterd by your friend and then adopted by you.
When did you adopt Jester?
Fingers crossed indeed all his feathers grow back but the damage to the folikels (there where the feathers start to grow)
can be so large that there will never develop any new feathers there.
That might be the case at Jesters legs.

Maddy, how can I look at photo-albums from you and from other Precisely Parrot-members? I do not know how to do that yet!

Greetings from the Netherlands,

Hi Rita.

If you would like to look through a members album, just click on the members name and you will see it says "view profile" Once you are in their profile page, scroll down until you see "Albums" You will then be able to see all their pics

Thank you for explaining this to me Wendy.
Now I for sure will take a look at photo-albums of other PP-members!

Thanks Wendy.

I've just sighned in at "Photobucket" and created my first two albums there.
How can I add photo's from there "full-size" in posts at Precisely Parrots now?
I didn't like my photos showed up only as little thumbnails in my PP-posts ant threads when I uploaded them from my computer or the PP photo-album.

Actually, Jester is 16 years old. I can tell you his history before he was locked in his cage. He had two comes before coming to live with me. We don't know much about his first home, except for that it was with a woman and he lived there for about 5 years. He was then lived with the couple for 11 years, we think. We know at some point, the couples brother in law moved in with them, and Jester bonded with the brother in law. But after awhile, the brother in law moved out, and took Jester's heart with him. Jester got very upset and angry, and we believe he was not being nice to them anymore. That's when they locked him in the cage, and didn't take him out.

This was his cage, and all his toys. He didn't have that nice dragon wood perch in it, my friend added that while he was waiting to get a nice cage for Jester.



I adopted him in April last year. At first, we didn't think we were going to be able to get him because he was going to be adopted by someone else. However, about two weeks later I got a message from my friend, saying that Jester's adoption had fallen through, and I was able to adopt him. I started shaking and crying, because I was so very happy. A few days later, we picked him up.

Hi Rita! Maxi is such a beauty and she's obviously loving her time flying! I too, have a U2 that loves to fly outdoors and he loves every minute of it .

Maddy, your Jester is the luckiest bird in the world to have found his way to you!

[Maddy]

Thank you, Mare! I am so lucky to be his momma.

Rita, I'm sorry for hijacking your thread.

When you go to the page of one of the photos you uploaded, there should see a box that says "Links to Share this Photo". Under it, there are four codes. You want the one that says IMG. Click it, and copy it. Then paste the code into your post here. Your photo should show up when you post.

Here is a screen shot of one of my photo pages. You want to copy the code I circled in red.
