Great idea guys! The man that gave her to us said that he looked up her band number and found out she was bred in California, but he doesn't remember exactly when. There aren't many avian vets out here, which should make it easy to find her records since she came to PA, if she has any. I don't think her species is super common. TBH I had never heard of a Rock Pebbler before now. I'd like to make her an appointment for a check up soon. I'm not sure when she last saw a vet, if ever.
Yzma didn't have a name when we got her. She may have had one with her owner that died, but her name went to the grave with that owner. We named her Yzma. The story behind that is kind of a long one...
We adopted a puppy of unknown breeding at a local shelter. We decided to call him Kuzco because he wasn't very good in the house and we kept "throwing off his groove" with his training. He was also tall, lanky, black, and awkward like Kuzco in his llama form. After much debating as to what kind of dog he was, we had him DNA tested and found out he was actually a wolf dog. This explained a lot of his behaviors, and DNA confirmation of what he was meant we couldn't keep him. Wolf dogs are illegal to own in our state without a wildlife license. They're also banned on a township level where we live, and he violated the terms of our homeowners insurance, so we had to make the difficult decision to surrender him to a sanctuary. He is now living at the same sanctuary where Yzma came from, so in a way, we made a trade, a bird for a wolf dog. Yzma was the antagonist in that movie who was always trying to take Kuzco's throne, so I figured it was fitting in the situation.
There's a little part of me that wants to get a male cockatiel to house next to her, just so I can call him Kronk. lol.
