Candy the Red-Lored Amazon

Meet Candy; she is a Red-Lored Amazon that came to the rescue on June 12th as a fledgling with a terrible fungal infection that was taking over her mouth to the point that she couldn’t even close it fully. She couldn’t fly and had a sinus infection among other symptoms and discomforts. In the time that she’s been here while cleaning out her mouth and nares and bringing her back to health she has captured each of our hearts. In the beginning she needed a lot of care, multiple times, every day. She now is living full time in an outside aviary with other parrots and loving it! Though she does sometimes miss being the baby and getting hand fed our delicious baby parrot goop she is well on her way to being a healthy bird; she can fly and with practice and time she will be great at it.
