So he is close to home i'm sure.

Yes Lokota Loft It would be Great if members did "whatever" to get their location in the upper right hand corner across from their name. That is if they are not running from the law.

progress


OK, got the organic apple cider vinegar in the water, and got an adoption post up. Still working on the other foods & probiotics, and will get a photo to attach to the adoption post. Making progress.

And the bird is making very encouraging progress, too. Yes, when I first found him, I scooped him right up - he didn't so much as wiggle a wing. Now he's alert, perky, and has a voracious appetite. He made one attempt to fly, but couldn't stay aloft. I don't see any signs of injury or feather damage - I'm pretty sure it's just weakness.

I'm interested in wildlife rehab, and would like to get certified someday... so I have a bunch of books and journals around the house that hopefully will come in handy. But I doubt I'll find anything more helpful than what I'm getting here on the forum!

Once caught, no longer wanted. law wins. I resemble that remark. LOL

I'm very glad one of God's creatures was lost and alone, in need of help and care, and it found you.

You are blessed,
Tony

Well, as of this morning he's much perkier, although still with the green watery poo. I'm pretty happy with the setup I've got him in - large box with a screen on top and lots of horizontal space for him to move around in. Might not be his favorite place to spend the day, but I think he'll be alright! :-)
