Lisa Shea Forums Parakeets General Parakeet Chat Pearl's Freak Accident (she's OK)

This morning Pearl was playing in her cage and she fell off of something, which she often does. She landed on the bottom of the cage. I looked over at her and she was laying on her back. I asked her if she was Ok and she layed there and kinda looked from side to side. A few seconds later I realized she was "stuck" to the floor.

As I looked closer I could see her wings had gone through the grate on the floor. She was literally stuck to the floor. As I talked to her I reached in and gently put my fingers around her and very, very gently lifted her. I didn't know just how stuck she was and didn't want to hurt her. She's still new and not fully trusting of hands.

Fortunately she didn't freak out and as I lifted her, her wings just slid right out. Then of course she bit me really hard, like it was all my fault. I sat her on her rope perch and watched her a few minutes until I knew she was truly OK.

It was a complete freak accident. I'm not even sure why I'm sharing it, other than it was so bizaar. Fortunately she was perfectly OK, it just surprised her I think. It sure surprised the daylights out of me!!!!

haha thats so cute.. poor girl.. lol haha sorry but i started to laugh "she lookedfrom side to side" lol sorry i shouldn't be laughing...

Goodness! I laughed when I read it too! (Sorry!) Mostly because I could picture a keet laying there looking side to side like, "O.K. who's the wise guy holding me down??" LOL That is a super cute story!! Thanks sooo much for sharing!!
