Silly Birdie!

My silly bird, a white cockatiel named Jonas (NO he was NOT named after the Jonas brothers. I named him after Jonas Quinn from Stargate SG1) got out of his cage this morning and started flying about the lounge/dining area. Birdie never gets let out of his cage due to us having birds but he was out flying from one end of the room to another. Silly duffer that he is!

Angus grabbed a towel for me to try and throw it over him so we could catch him before he got hurt. As I said he is a silly bird and he flew straight into the glass sliding door. Our friend Maity was here and he managed to catch him for us (without the towel) but he got bitten BIG time. Poor birdie lost his tail feathers too :(
He's back in his cage but he is awful quiet & looking very unhappy.

This is a picture of Jonas in his old cage .. well before he lost his tail feathers

Awwwww! I feel bad for Jonas, Maity, and you! It's not right to get bitten just because you were trying to help, but I know how Jonas feels. I've been cooped up for a few days too. Sometimes you just need to fly!! I hope Maity and Jonas start to feeling better soon.

Maity said he would be fine. He also said that he's had worse. When he milks the cows on his friends farm they often tread on his hands *ouch*
Jonas is still very quiet but he's often not heard for hours at a time.
