May 31


My oldest came running in, yelling 'One more home!'.
Yes, one more of my birds returned from Sunday's fiasco.
But, 1387 showed up with a broken leg. What do I do?
I went ahead and let her into the loft to eat, since she had made such an effort to get home, but will move her to a small cage later for safety.
Should I try to splint, or leave it be? She cannot perch, and when I walked away, she was eating while laying down.
This only leaves 5 out, which is terrible, but not as bad as when it was 9! And if this one could make it in wounded, I'm not ready to give up hope on the others, although I will be buying more squeakers.
