As a pet parent, nothing feels more gratifying than watching a furry, feathered, or scaly friend living their best life. Whether they’re relaxing on the couch with Dad, napping in the sunshine, or enjoying a nutritious meal, there are so many ways to help rescue pets feel their very best. When you have a happy pet on your hands, you can pat yourself on the back for a job well done!
The bird rescuers behind @the_green_bird_brigade work hard to give their pet parrots everything they need to thrive, but moments like Auggie’s June 5 milestone make it all worthwhile. Auggie is a beautiful blue Quaker Parrot who has been living with a hormonal condition that results in feather loss and plucking. However, now that she’s on an effective new medication, she has the cutest new ‘floof’.
Just wait until you see her!

What a beautiful bird! Auggie seems so chatty and happy with herself as she sings and dances for Mom, and no one can blame her one bit. Regrowing feathers is a big deal, and she deserves every millisecond of her celebration.
“Auggie is looking super fluffy. Do I spy pantaloons?” one commenter asked. ‘Pantaloons’ is the cute nickname for the fluffy, small feathers that grow on some birds’ legs, and if you look closely, you can see that Auggie is growing some of her own. After losing most of the feathers on her front to a hormonal condition, this is a major improvement!

Of course, this talking parrot charms people with her songs just as much as her fluff. This one is called “Bacon Pancakes,” and it’s one of her all-time favorites. If you listen closely, you can hear exactly why they named her song after breakfast food. It really sounds like she’s saying ‘bacon pancakes!’
Quaker Parrots like Auggie can be green or blue, but they all have a flat, downturned beak and small black eyes. They may not all be as resilient and loving as Auggie is, but they make wonderful pets for loving, dedicated pet parents. Looking for more PetHelpful updates?
