Kiwi came to me at 14 years ago after being found in the nestbox with no feet. I handfed her & she never had feet, so never missed them. She likes to climb the side of her cage, hold on with her beak, & then she peddles like she is riding a bicycle.

That is SO sweet of you to take in a bird like that! :) (I don't care if she doesn't have feet..--still a cute bird!!!)

Kiwi is a lucky little bird. Having a pet bird / parrot is a huge committment, I know, I own an amazon. I love these birds. Thank God, Kiwi has you! He is really cute!

Nice to hear other people don't think an animal needs to be "perfect" to be a good addition to your family. Kiwi has always shocked people when they first saw her. She makes a definite impression on people :).
