For months we struggled to get Fred to heal. He was so sweet and we were always putting on new collars, coats, a vest, trying new wound treatments to get a little healing then he would tear open the wound and we would start all over again.
I didn’t know what to try next after months of little or no success. So I reached out to the birding community around the country. Over and over I heard that there was a direct link between plucking and nutritions. One person came forward with a specific plan. Machelle Pacion was just starting her bird food company and had done extensive research on therapeutic diets. Bless her for offering to take Fred to her home and treat him.
I met her volunteer at DFW airport because Machelle lives in Arizona. I said Goodbye but knew if he was to have any chance at all it needed someone with more talent than I possessed. Time has proven that I made the right choice.
