Located in Flint Michigan

My name is Choo Choo, My owners bought me from a pet shop, they paid over $1000 for me. But they didn't understand me or the kind of games I liked to play. They called Borrowed Rainbow and told them to come and get me because they said the Pet Store wouldn't take me back of refund their money. My family was scared of me they accused me of trying to attack them and their kids. But all I was trying to do was play tag! Just because I was chasing them with my mouth open didn't mean I wanted to hurt anyone, I just wanted to play. I thought it was funny to watch everyone run away from me. Sapphyre came over to my family's home and she spent some time with me. She knew what I was doing and what I wanted, but she couldn't make the family believe that I wasn't trying to hurt anyone. So she took me home to Borrowed Rainbow. I had so much fun here, anyone who came to visit Borrowed Rainbow would play with me, I don't even know the name of the little girl who let me sit on her head, but she sure wasn't afraid of me!  I chased everyone, for some reason they didn't run away from me. They would pick me up and hug me, I loved to cuddle with anyone who would hold me like a baby.  I lived with Sapphyre at Borrowed Rainbow for about 3 years, then one night it was time for me to go to my new home in Birdy Heaven.

 Choo Choo passed away 9-9-04 we all sadly miss this sweet loving bird.

My name is Chewie, I got that name, well I guess because I like to chew up everything! My owner had some teenagers that would pick on me, and hurt me. I was so scared all the time that I would scream and then I was so mad I would start plucking out all my feathers. My owner didn't want me anymore, so he called Sapphyre to come and pick me up. I am surprised she wanted me, I know she had seen naked chickens with more feathers then I had. But she loved me for who I was, my new feathers started to come back in I didn't pluck them out anymore. Sapphyre would play with me a lot and gave me foods I had never eaten before, my favorite was apples and whatever she had on her plate. Then one day a family came to visit me. They said I was a very beautiful parrot, my feathers were not perfect, but to them I was. So they took me home with them, and they play with me everyday. No one has been mean to me since I came to Borrowed Rainbow.

My name was Dianna, I was born with crippled legs and deformed wings, I only lived 7 months. Even though I never could learn to eat on my own, Sapphyre wouldn't give up on me. She hand fed me everyday. She preened my feathers and kept me clean. My parent birds wouldn't take care of me after I hatched, I guess they knew I wasn't perfect. Sapphyre didn't care that my legs were no good to me, she loved me for who I was.
