Hi all,

I'd like you to meet 'lil gimpi' he is an Australian grey cockatiel and he has a genetic disorder which has affected some of his bones in his feet as well as his left wing. This means he cannot fly. If he were in the wild, he wouldn't survive.

We saw him yesterday and felt so sorry for him. We didn't think anyone would want him and couldn't bear the thought of him being alone. He is a wild bird - he hasn't been hand reared, but it is our hope that our next picture will have him perched on my finger... we will see how we go.
