And we can all pronounce it and pretty much know what it means. 

Now the lull before the nail biting fledge time.   Can someone put nets on all the windows up there?  And stop all the traffic around TSB?

Well, it's a thought.

Wiped out from that banding experience - or the heat.  At least the nursery got cleaned.

Same thing happened in Jersey City two years ago.  We released the fledgling with the hairline fracture about three weeks after the injured bird was discovered.  The juveniles were still being fed and the bird went off from the nestbox.  Both parents were there to greet the fledgling and escort it into the skies to be with the rest of the family.  The other bird to go down from the same hatch group had a seriously broken wing.  It was healed three months later and on Oct. 29 we released it from the nestbox.  The parents attacked the juvenile.  It was far too late for a young one to be around.  We are hopeful that the juvie made it out of town OK.

My point is that Madness should be just fine.

Putting this here, just because. Anyone know what this is coming out of the Hawk's mouth? Looks like Pooh but from the wrong end. Posted by Ann B

That mucus? Is it sick?

Has anyone seen this before?

My parrots throw up like that for each other and me as a sign of acceptance.  Or, could be the tobacco chew.

Just looks like matted feathers right above the eye.  Probably from the intense feedings.  As soon as someone uses a wash rag, the baby will look just fine.

Aren't there some rescue eyases around that could be put into that scrape?  Rent an eyas? 

Thanks, Kris and Carla.  It is gorgeous in JC where we watch.

"Here comes the airplane!"

That airplane needs to land a little better.  Or have the baby wipes on board.

On a happy note, the two boys are doing great.  Here is one of my new favs:

Update here. It was the female who perished. We still have the two males who were pinioned to a ledge.  The parents brought in food at 8 am. One male did fly at about 9 am.   I'll post pictures shortly.  Only of the two males. 

Whatever goes down comes out.  At least the baby was not covered in remains. Beauty is a dainty feeder. At what point does she just say, "I will just do it myself!". Those husbands!  I can relate.

I love those Cornell cams.  So glad you caught the video or posted it here.   

Same thing happened a few years ago in Jersey City. One was a hairline fracture.  The bird was young and healed within three weeks.  The second was very serious, but the bird healed and was released three months after the accident.

You gotta have heart, miles and miles of heart ....

Mommy knows best right now.  Where the heck is she? A whole liver is good for Dot, but not for a baby.  Mommy come back, pulleese!
