Now I'm flying high!
I was bred by a backyard butcher to be sold for someone’s Thanksgiving dinner. Thankfully, the butcher was willing to pardon me. When the folks from Heritage Haven came to pick me up, my friends were being slaughtered right in front of me. I was relieved to be leaving that place, but I was also terrified because I had never been anywhere else.
I was very quiet in the carrier on the car ride to Heritage Haven. When we arrived at the aviary, I stayed in my carrier for a long time even after the carrier door was opened. Eventually I decided to explore my new surroundings. The difference was incredible! Where I came from, I was in a very short, crowded cage. It was so crowded that I could not fully extend my wings. It was so short that I had no chance to learn to fly. We did not have any indoor space at all.
At Heritage Haven, I have indoor and outdoor spaces that are high enough for me to fly! Each night I fly up to my cozy indoor roost with my friends.
