Hi Kathy,
   Yeh, I'm just a sucker for birds in need.The first was a Zebra Finch who's 
leg was slammed in a cage door-she now belongs to my mother.The 
next-Cricket,after that came Syd(Tiel) who was mentally,physically abused and 
the last one two months ago Bella (Budgie) who had her leg torn off by an 
older clutch mate.All these I have kept along with my original babes 
Cosmo(Tiel) and Tia (Budgie), there have been other patients but they either 
went back home or to a new residence.
   TTFN
   Deb....
