At least, Jeanne , you have the meaning of the text. Continue, the french will come back.
I also hope that all will be OK for the entire family.

Here is the blog post...

So many emotions today ...

We found this morning that Eve looked ill, she was amorphous in the bottom of the box, and Spirit was trying to feed her but she has hardly eaten anything. His behavior "sick" was started yesterday, but I hoped there improvement. Here come the tough decisions .... what? Let nature take its course? or intervene? Me and Simon Duval had a long discussion with an expert on falcons, Peter Molina, who was present at the UdeM with us. We also sought the views of David Bird and Guy Fitzgerald. We all agree that intervention was required for Eve, but the danger was that Horus tries to steal and hurt.

Even before Simon and Peter open the door to attempt a catch, Horus had already jumped! It is therefore a sign that he was ready to make its first flight .... phew relief! He also flew as a champion and tried to return to the tower, but it was about 3 feet too low. He made a turn toward the Lassonde to land on a small roof on this side, unharmed. My friend Richard Dupuis and some observers are on the watch this afternoon, seems that Horus is good form, continues to exercise its wings and plays with a small scale. Spirit or Roger should come eat tonight at this place. It would be surprising if he tries to fly again before tomorrow, but everything is possible! I'll be there tomorrow morning to watch, but I have to leave during the day. I hope that other observers will be taking over the watch. I am very confident that he can fly well enough in a few days as we saw its first flight!

As for Eve, she underwent a physical examination which revealed nothing apart from dehydration and a relatively low weight - it weighs only 800g. She received fluids and a good meal, blood tests and x-rays can we say more tomorrow. For now she sits at UQROP, in good hands. I hope they can heal as quickly as possible and I will be able to bring her back this week at UdeM. Who pays for that? Well, it UQROP - an extraordinary organization funded entirely by public donations. Think of them during your next charity donations! Here is their website: http://www.uqrop.qc.ca/

Here are photos of Eve:

Oh no!   Poor sweetie.  Let us know if they figure out what happened to her.

I just read the montreal blog.  They are waiting results for Eve but they think it was some bacterium since multiple organs were infected.  Poor thing

The little guy flew into a classroom and had to be rescued!  There are pictures of that and of one of his landings.  He landed beneath an adult but not well-- doing the "bat" look while gripping the building!  The adult was looking at him!

It is possible that our Eve has the same illness that Blue has in Harrisburg.

Nicole,

I am so sorry for the loss of Eve.  It's never easy to lose one of these beautiful creatures.

"Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened"               

Jeanne would you tell me in what work of Anatole France did you get this sentence. Thanks.

I have another for you from unknown person: A dog has a master, a cat has a slave......

Nicole,

I'm not sure.  I have seen the quote from Anatole France several times and loved it but I have no idea where it is from!

Love the quote about dogs and cats!  Seems to fit!!!

The temporary diagnosis responsible for Eve's death is, in french:
Hépatite à Herpesvirus et pneumonie bactérienne. A more complete result will come.

Horus is in a great form and a superb flier. He will be able to hunt by himself very soon.
