My new rescue canary

[Catherine]

Someone found a canary in a back alley. The poor little bird was desperately trying to find something to eat and drink. The guy scooped the bird up and came running into the reptile centre for help. (we also have birds)  I was there so I took her in and set her up in a little temporary cage.

I have never seen a bird so hungry and thirsty. She just drank and drank. She has been out for a while. Her feathers are dirty and ragged and she is missing part of a foot.
She is a beautiful colour and very perky. So I took her home to live with my male canary, Russet.
Russet is a gentle bird and he is alone now.

So here she is in my big bird cage.

I made sure there is food and water all over the cage and she spent the whole day eating and then grooming. She looks much better already.
The two birds also spent the day getting to know each other.
You can see Russet up top and the female on the bottom.

She is working her way up the cage.

They are clearly looking at each other.

I think they are doing fine together.

They are sleeping in separate spots, but Russet likes the highest perch and she is sleeping next to a food dish. She is still so hungry.
Now I just need a good name for her.
