primsongWell, my two formerly homeless budgies are still settling in - the little yellow girl was fluffed, stressed and otherwise miserable enough over this past week I was pretty worried about her, but every day she got less stressed and less fluffed - now she's slimming down to normal parakeet appearance. Her blue laddie was quite concerned, always sitting right by her and moving to be between her and me if I reached in to fix their food. She didn't like to move except to get food and water, so I kept her half-covered and added extra vitamins and molting food to her diet.
Last night she finally began to move around a little and slowly stretched her wings - which let me see she's been injured on the one! It looks like it's healing up nicely, but.no wonder the poor little thing was miserable!
Very pleased that they are starting to take interest in their surroundings and sing a little now, they aren't aggressive at all. The man from the church who brought them in said he doubted they'd ever had a normal or healthy home-life, which is sad for anyone, person or critter, definitely time for Better Birdie Days Ahead.
