One more thing....

be careful what you ask for.
ROFL! Ain't that the truth! I keep hoping for another abandoned 'possum baby to find me, but over the years all that happens is the birds and cats find me! I don't have extra advice, just to say I do have a few birds (my newest one Webby is one) who won't fly at all and don't seem to be injured. Webby for instance holds his wing down a bit and can use it to fly up about a foot or so, but that's it. Mr. Nelson (one of my oldest) came to me with bb gun scar tissue under one wing and after five or so years was able to fly again. So maybe only time will tell . . . I hope he does well and also that your other pij feels better.

Here is Fiesty, my latest grounded pigeon. The picture here is about a week old. He has improved much after molting. He is able to jump now on the perch which he seems to like a lot when he is in the avairy. He took a bath ON HIS OWN yesterday.

Handsome blue check. Glad he's feeling well enough to bathe on his own!

Had them twice in my life. Get to know tree cutters in your area. In the spring, if they drop a tree with flying squirrels in it, you got your babies. Be advised they are a handful and mainly cause trouble at night.

They are cute,
