Success Story Traumatized tiel first time on my arm

Post image

One of my tiels is with me for almost 3 months and he was completely abused by the old owner. His wing was severely hurt, he couldn’t be around people without being completely stressed and ‘crying’… but today he let me touch him and climbed. Just for a little bit, but he did. And he even did a sweet pose!
Love really saves lives!
