that's great!!!ruler wrote:ahhhhhh he is sooooooo much better todaystill not 100% but i can see he is getting over this now and it makes me really happy

still nowhere as chirpy as before and still sleeps a lot but there are excellent signs of improvement. i woke up this morning to find him in my bed 'under the covers' lol i wondered what the hell it was![]()
was also nice to see him ruffle his feathers too as he used to do it all the time but stopped after his accident. i think he is going to make it

Re: devistated
I'm so glad he's recovering as it sounds like you got you one sweet lil buddy there that loves youto pieces as well!!! And yeah sleeping will be normal during a healing cycle for anything as it is said that the healing process takes place better while sleeping and that's why everything including us sleep more during a illness or after surgery or trauma..

Re: devistated
firstly i'd like to say he is definatly now 100% the bird he was before the accident
he has made a full recovery.
i took him to the vet in my hand as he refuses to enter a cage and he was good all the time he was there. the vet checked him over and told me he apears to have made a full recovery. he was very stunned to see how tame the bird was and said ive never seen a finch respond to words in all my years as a vet.after checking him over the vet told me that it looks like ive done all the hard work and is not going to charge me anything for looking at him
at one point there was 3 vets who came in to see him lol they all said they have never seen a finch with such a strong bond with a human and very happy that they had a chance to see him.
while in the waiting room a young couple offered to buy him but i was very happy to decline their offer
everywhere he goes people make a big fuss over him lol wish they would do that for me
anyway they asked me to take him back in a couple of weeks so they can see how hi is doing. i know ive said it already but i would like to say it once again... thanks to everyone for all your help and advice also for all your well wishes it made a big difference to me and my little birdy in our hour of need

Re: devistated
i named him the day he hatched
he is called Beebies.
if i am in the kitchen and i say his name he will come strait out and i dont even have to shout it, does it everytime lol
at night he now sleeps around my neck and if i put him into his nesting box or his brooder he gets restless and makes a constand clucking noise while hoping about, he will eventually sneak over to me and his head will pop up around my neck while making that purring noise. he is a crafty shafty
i must get him used to a cage soon now that i have two spare ones as i dont want to squash him at night without knowing.
