Meet Max...  One February morning a Blue Fronted Amazon flew into the wall of Fortunoffs, fell to the ground, walked up a man’s pants and shirt and onto his shoulder.  He was the building manager and got our number from a local vet’s office.  After picking up the bird, he was rushed the vet as his head was bleeding from hitting the wall.  He stayed with a volunteer for a week before a family was found for him.  As it turned out Max was owned by this family's eldest son who was killed by a drunk driver several years earlier.  His family had taken care of Max ever since.

     This is one of our favorite Rescue stories because it was a blessing for this family to get Max back.  Max is all they had left of their son.  Once in awhile there is an exceptional ending to a found bird story and we can’t think of a better ending.  When Max arrived at their house he saw the mother and started yelling “Hi mom,” and of course there was a steady stream of joyful tears.  Max is a really great bird.
