i have to say this, as it really makes me angry. IF you feel the need to critize me, and my choice in SAVING THIS BIRDS LIFE, please read everything there is to know, get your facts straight BEFORE you try and tell me im doing something illegal. The first bird I owned, named bart, we took in to the wildlife sanctuary. This is exactly what they told us, "I'm not supposed to tell you this, but if we take this bird, the other animals will just 'destroy' it (kill it)" they then told us to feed him soggy dog food. i wouldnt have put a video out like this if i knew it was illegal. NOT TO MENTION, I LIVE IN CANADA. everything i have heard about owning a bird native to the land is in the UNITED STATES where it is ILLEGAL to raise a bird NATIVE TO THE STATE. i repeat, i LIVE IN CANADA. if you can find something that states that is illegal, then go right ahed, but keep in mind what the bird sanctuary told us before you tell me i am wrong.
*October 19th* UPDATE!! I FOUND OUT HOW TO WORK MY CAMERA! more videos of cheeko in action WILL be on the way. I have a test video being accepted right now (the batteries on my camera were dying) but anyways NOW I PROMISE I WILL GET SOMETHING INTERESTING OUT THERE!! Thanks again EVERYONE for all your support and GOOD FEEDBACK! it really was just an experiment getting him out there and i love how it turned out... so i will continue.. BLA BLA BLA!!! =D
*september 8th* Thanks again everyone for all the comments, STILL even tho this video is pretty darn old now. Sorry for my lack of responses. just wanted everyone to know that CHEEKO HAS FULL WINGS NOW and he is learning how to glide!! he doesn't fall straight to the floor anymore. he also doesnt have tail feathers yet but with his full wings he looks like a healthy full-sized crow!!
thought i would share that with everyone just so you all know that i dont abuse him and he isn't gimped. i really want to try to get some more stuff of him up... but in the meantime you can all seek comfort in the fact that he is going greater than ever =D
thanks again everyone!
*june 25th* This is my crow Cheeko. I found him one day on my way to singing lessons. He was on the side of the road, fallen out of his nest, parents nowhere near, and we were stopped at a stop light so I got out of the car and snatched him.
We have had him for a year now and suspect that he is about a year and a month+ old.
yes, his feathers are really shabby. no we do not abuse him.
we are working on fixing that right now by feeding him a better mushy dog food with more vitamins in it. hes growing a few long feathers so we will wait to see what happens.
Cheeko does not live in a cage, he walks freely around our house, but his favorite spot is on someones shoulder or on the back of one of the kitchen chairs.
yes, there is bird poop, but we deal with it.
i know this is a crappy video, it was my 3rd attempt at it and ofcourse the previous 2 were way better, and i was really angry at this point.
ill try to get a better one up some time, maybe once cheeko has grown a few more feathers in!
Thankyou everyone who has been adding this to favorites, and thanks for all the views and comments!!
i didnt expect to get that many, its awesome.
