00:00In the very beginning, she was definitely terrified.
00:04She was malnourished and starving.
00:09So the first couple days I had her was really just trying to push fluids and nutrition into her.
00:18I honestly thought that she was so malnourished that she had an issue with being able to form full feathers.
00:25You do.
00:28It's okay.
00:30The next step was teaching her how to be a bird, getting perches for her.
00:35You're not even an inch from the ground.
00:38Yes, hi baby.
00:40Oh, hello.
00:42She became quite spunky.
00:44Hello. Oh, sweetie. You're so cute.
00:48Within the first week of me having her, she started to really get curious of her surroundings.
00:58She definitely imprinted on me pretty quickly, and now she's absolutely obsessed with me.
01:03Hi, baby.
01:07Hi, baby.
01:09She loves to cuddle.
01:13So she's had a little teddy bear in her cage with her since the first week I had her, and she's obsessed with it.
01:20Hi, baby.
01:22Hi.
01:24Hi, baby.
01:26Hi.
01:28She's a baby.
01:34Within the first 10 days, you could really start seeing feathers growth coming in.
01:38When they started forming on her wings, that's when I kind of knew, okay, we've got her health under control.
01:44We're going to turn this around.
01:55Then the day she took flight was the day that I knew, like, okay, we did it.
02:01I'm also really proud because I never thought she'd be able to fly, but she just started flying,
02:05so now she's also escaping from her cage and flying all over my house.
02:14Hi.
02:17She's my buddy. We do everything together.
02:20She's quite naughty, but she's my buddy.
02:25Hi.
02:27For me to go through this much work and, like, this much potential heartbreak and watching her progress over the weeks to come
02:35and just seeing, you know, that I essentially helped save her life, I was like, I have to keep her.
02:41I'm obsessed with her. I'm attached to her.
02:48What are you doing?
02:51I got you a flower.
02:56Smell it.
