Artie's Official Poop Shirt

  Artie is much loved by Keith and Margie.  She, yes SHE, was rescued from a horrible situation and is now thriving.  She has a special relationship with Keith, seen here reluctantly.  We have all worn parrots now and then and we all know what happens to our clothing when this is practiced...  having a special shirt for the occasion is a good solution. 

Artie gets her collar off tomorrow for another chance at freedom.  We will keep our fingers crossed that she doesn't start any self destruction.  Parrots deal with stress and anxiety in obsessive compulsive ways.  Then, unfortunately, it becomes a patterned behavior.  Breaking a patterned behavior is very difficult.  We don't always understand the triggers involved or the relief they get from doing hurtful things to themselves.  Psychology is complicated.
