In the shelter’s words
Update 06/16/2017: Hi there! While I'll always be mobility-challenged and will need special care, I'm making progress and getting stronger every day. Here's a video of me walking around!Fuzzball has deformed hips and legs which make it impossible for him to stand, walk or perch. He was surrendered after his owner was told he had scaly mites and to apply an insecticide to him. He immediately started plucking his feathers and getting sick. He was also malnourished from an all seed diet his whole life (about 7 years). Fortunately, birds don't feel sorry for themselves and his will to live and his spirit has been a source of enjoyment for everyone that meets him.You can see more about me at https://mickaboo.org!
