In memory of Mickey Uittenbogaard
We have dedicated this section to Ellen Uittenbogaard and her beloved Senegal parrot, Mickey, the first parrot to be diagnosed and treated for Cushing’s disease. Mickey and Ellen’s journey can be followed on Facebook here.
Rest in peace gentle, brave Mickey, who unexpectedly passed away January 5th 2013. The incredible love and bond between Ellen and Mickey was shared with parrot lovers around the world, who love Mickey and respect and admire Ellen for her devotion to Mickey and Mickey’s illness. Mickey pioneered medical research and knowledge for other avians who will be diagnosed and treated for Cushings going forward.
The love between Ellen and Mickey exemplifies Parrot Love.
