I hope the steroid does the trick. Has to be so painful! Is she eating real food or baby food?
It was heart-stopping to watch her squeeing and flitting from branch to branch. But mom did all the right things! She’s one sharp eagle!
She ate real food this evening. I had a jar of baby food out but never had to open it.
He said it’s possible there’s an ulcer behind one of her tonsils that he can’t see but there’s nothing at all visibly wrong in her mouth.
The problem’s been building up slowly and she might need another shot in a little while. Just have to wait and see how things go.
Now that Berry Baby has been off the nest, I noticed she didn’t stay there after making it back earlier. She left again and returned with no problem. Our baby bird is all grown up now. :-) And she’s lucky to be blessed with fantastic parents.
