Neglected elderly parrot nursed back to health by animal carer

An elderly parrot was nursed back to health by a kind animal carer after his previous owners were no longer able to care for him. Cracker the parrot, who's believed to be 40 years old, was dirty, had a lump on his back and an overgrown beak when it was given to Emily, an animal carer. Emily, who lives in Ohio, USA, said: "Birds are extremely intelligent and great at reading intentions, I think he could tell in his own way that I was trying to help him."
