This is Elmo! He’s a King Parrot, sadly not with us, it’s important to know as much as you can before feeding wildlife, best not do it at all! I learned the hard hard way, had him put to sleep due to been infected with PBFD. I take ownership of my mistakes. Still miss him…

Life’s lessons are ever so important! I’ve always learned the hard way and I appreciate learning from mistakes. Makes you a better human. I do miss him!

Psittacine beak and feather disease (PBFD) is a highly contagious and often fatal viral disease that primarily affects parrots and other birds in the parrot family (psittacines). It’s an agonising slow death!
