Hi 4zp,
Sounds very nice in every way...'ideal' even... Figure a couple weeks for the Leg/Foot issue, and she seems to have everything she needs now to enjoy a recovery in comfort and style, and to be self-moderating with it, with no appearent need of a splint. As long as the Leg and Foot seem to be in a normal alignment, ( but just held 'up' for now ) she should be able to deal with it in this way and have everything turn out fine. Best wishes..! Phil l v

Great and Thank you. I just checked in with Placido and the others (looking / waiting for lunch) and she appeared comfortable... even started to dose off a bit. Whew...
Thank you ever so much. ~ 4zp.

Yes... I will pass on to Placido. However having been rescued from a busy freeway ramp I think Placido might have a bit of an idea how cruel the world can be.
A friend (the rescuer) believes that Owly put word out to te pigeon community to come find me. Owly lived in my garage from the top of November until May 18 - 19th. Because it gets so cold here Owly not only had the digs that Placido has, he had blankets wrapped around his cage, a heat lamp and his own heater. Very special... however no cable television. The real upside is Owly has joined one of the flocks that frequents the 'secret garden'. All in all last I counted there were 88 pigeon heads and Owly... there too is a sparrow that eats and flies with them ~ quite the sight when they all take off. ~4zp.

The update...
Placido is eating and drinking water... moves about the cage... Puffs a bit when I change water, linens etc. Hasn't yet flicked a wing at me / but clearly feels stronger than the first few days here. I understand that the injured leg would still be uncomfortable. ~ However, when Placido is standing the injured foot still shakes. That sort of vibration one could associate with the plucking of a string of a string instrument. I'm thinking that this could be normal ~ however thought I'd check in. Thank you. ~ 4zp.

I don't think that it indicates you should do anything other than what you're doing. I suppose that it could mean that Placido is a little irritated at what he perceives to be a lack of service... do you think that there's any way that you could spoil him a little more?

of course, of course... So sorry... I didn't think I should mention this ~ its taken some time. The pigeons have been gathering feathers, and the silk worms have been working overtime. I'm just now stitching the featherbed together. Should be done soon.

The Update (II):
I have officially been wing-cracked. Placido is doing much better. Still eating, drinking... and the foot (digits) are looking much better ~ not so crumpled / stretching out... so much better that on occasion Placido will limp. Placido too has a new friend. WalkerPigeon showed up a few days ago... Stays close to Placido's cage / associates with the other pigeons, but doesn't hang with them... Walker walks everywhere ~ can fly, but chooses to walk and gets really close to me... and has allowed me to approach. ~ It was raining today and I took out an umbrella to put over Walker's PigeonPot. I forgot to mention ~ Walker (pictured) moved into a terra cotta flower pot and has been sleeping and hanging out in the secretgarden for a few days. ~ 4zp.

 thank you.Update on PlacidoPigeon: I have been shown a beautiful arabesque line, followed by a stretched foot. I have also been shown the progress of limp... Now looking closer to that out of Young Frankenstein ~ 'walk this way'... without the funny voice etc. There has even been a soft stomp or two, and a showing of how to flap and stretch wings. I think Placido is close to flying free. ~ 4zp.
