update on Spirit....rescued feral


Spirit is doing very well, he tries to fly and exercises his wings, but still cant really get airborne, falling to the floor (due to lack of balance). also still has runny ish poos..... BUT loads of energy and spunk!
I think he's missing his pidge family too, ...so I put him on my window ledge to watch outside, took these pics of him ( i get a feeling its a him, hes the only one of my ferals that coos )
hes finished a baytril course and fingers crossed the nerve damage isnt permanent.

I hope that in a couple of months he will get 100 percent better and can fly, I think hes still very wild at heart, even IF he tolerates riding my shoulder so he can see everything

thanks for everyones help on this site!!

What an absolute doll.

Is the poop very runny?

Have you had a fecal done?

Spirit is such a cutie and lovely, and it looks so cold over there, we are having a really nice weather here in SF, I will say in the 60's and 70's it feels more like our summer time.

his poops are improving, pretty solid.... just not like my other two healthy ferals...I read that its normal for paratyphoid and PMV pigeons to have persistent poop issues...hes only been with me since new years eve!

I have rescued three ferals to date, and each has their own amazing personality! and so pretty
I am waiting for a PG diaper lol so he can hang out around the house more

Yeah that one is looking fine and seems to me making his mind as well or may be some planning running in his head. Lollzz ...

I am sure you will be happy when he will fly once again
