He was a big parakeet in a tiny cage that forced his body into a stoop. His water dish was dry and his food bowl was empty. A family had moved and left him behind, alone in an empty house. I transferred him to the biggest habitat I could find and filled it with parakeet toys: mirrors, balls, bells, chewing sticks. I named him Re for rebirth. Then one day I saw that he had straightened his body. He stood tall, gripping his perch with new strength. His green feathers shone, and his eyes were bright. Re's rebirth had begun.
它是一只被关在小笼子里的大鹦鹉,所以不得不弯着身子。它的水盘子是干的,他的食碗是空的。一户人家搬走了,把它独自丢在空房子里。我把转移到我能找到的最大的鸟窝,给它买了鹦鹉玩具:有镜子、球、铃铛、咀嚼棒。我给它起名叫Re,意味着重生。后来有一天,我看到它挺直了身子。它站得很高,充满力量的紧握这栖木。它绿色的羽毛闪闪发光,眼睛明亮。Re的重生开始了。
