Well discovered! I am certain that it will be a quick recovery from here.

but, but...auntie jenn...i thought YOU were gonna take him....!
he got another bath last night, i'm just blown away by how he just lays there....like he's at a pigeon spa or something.
and then to watch him while i'm blow drying him??? i wish i had a video camera - the boy is in ecstasy!
i was very very heartened when i saw him start preening himself while i was drying him. i figure if a pij is really bad, they won't be concerned about their appearance, or have the energy to take care of themselves. he really is a stunner, color-wise. nice medium grey head, super rich orange eyes, lots of white feathers, especially his long flights that are now gone [sorry birdling, it's for the best!] but his body and wing feathers look like leopard print! really neat-looking!!! not a grizzle or a check like i've ever seen, very defined spots. one of these days i'll remember to take my camera home.
so jenn, what are you gonna name him.....?![]()
People can and do get mites from birds. They can infest your house.Dear Piji Whisper.
Bless your heart!How is he this evening????
And someone correct me if I am wrong... but I believe that any mites or lice are host specific... so they could be spread to the other birds .. but not to you or dogs...etc. I THINK???
Please do keep us updated... Looks like Ceil and Trooper are getting a sibling!HUGS to him and All from Auntie Jenn....
