Birds are often neglected in rescue work, especially little birds. Checkers came to the Largo SPCA as a scared 5 month old among a flock of small birds confiscated from a breeder. His photo won our hearts at first glance. With such a big personality and adventuresome spirit, we call him Mr. Checkers.
He is our second rescue bird. Our birds live openly in our home, using their cages for night and when we are out. Mr. Checkers joins me for work in my home office, enjoying his freedom. As a baby parakeet, he is clumsy but determined and cheerful. Birds are precious pets who need hours of human interaction daily yet return love and loyalty in abundance.
