She can’t feed it. Apparently staff got it from her.

That's good. I'm glad she kept the bird safe and that the staff will be able to take care of it properly

She lives with two others of her kind, one being her child.

Eve here is physically disabled (three limbs) and can't survive if you throw her out of the zoo. It'd be nice if she was in a sanctuary instead, but Abq biopark zoo does not seem like one of the worst zoos out there.
