[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 63999, member: 1991"] It is important to keep your own records. It not only keeps your spirits up on difficult days but it can give you pointers to help get the good days back. I hope the bird is OK. A broken wing in a bird is a very difficult thing to fix. I'm wondering, since the bird seems so tame, if it was a pet that got out? Or a tame wild bird that, because it was tame, strayed too close to those boys who were attacking it. We have tame parrots here among the wild ones, probably tamed through hand-feeding. Sometimes one will land on my clothesline and :censored: its head at me, as if asking for some food. And our white cockatoos - I think they're hatched to be as bold as brass, I can't shoo them away even when they're attacking the roses! They just stare at me and raise their crests. If they fly away it's only a few feet while they wait until I leave so they can come back and continue tearing plants to pieces. A bird's wing bones are hollow, they actually use the air spaces in the wing bones as part of their lung system. The vet may have to put the bird down, or he may have to amputate part of the wing. If he has to amputate, then difficult child has a responsibility laid on him. Will he be able to take it on, do you think? Marg [/QUOTE]
