Hugo

Hugo was purchased for a man's son in his 20s. He was reportedly brought over in his mum's tummy and born in the UK after the mother disowned baby Hugo, most probably due to the stress of being stolen from the wild and exported to the UK. The keeper of the mother hand-raised him until he was sold to the man and his son.

His son kept him in the enclosure shown above and, once he moved his pregnant girlfriend into the room, Hugo changed, becoming aggressive to females and urinating at the girlfriend from across the room in his cage. They surrendered him to APES after not being able to find anywhere else.

Worm

Due to Worm's rescue, we cannot disclose much information apart from that he was kept in a budgie/cockatiel cage no wider and taller than approximately L: 1 ft x D: 1 ft x H: 4 ft.

There was bird poo and old bird food at the bottom. A member came across this animal being sold and very kindly paid them to take the animal, then surrendered him to us to give him a better life.

All we can divulge at this time is that he has come from abusive keepers. He has been manhandled and treated so badly that staff who have seen videos of his keeping were brought to tears.

Worm is now in quarantine for the next few months and then 6 months of slow introduction to Hugo in the hope that we can pair them.

Due to the type of abuse case, we cannot show all of the images.
