Heather,
You're doing all you can right now. I wish we could all go there and each rescue 1 bird. But call first thing in the am, and let us know how you make out. Keep at them, pester them until they do something!!
Please don't apologize about all your posts. We want to be here and help anyway we can.:dry:
Judy gives good advice. Just watch her, and see how she is.
No apology is needed about the posting. We all post when we can, and sometimes life is so busy, that there's no time. We understand! :)
Is there any agency that is for the Prevention of Cruelty of Animals? We have one here in MA. If there is one, please call them continually until they do something.

Yes, that is one of those squiggly rope toys. We have many around our house, different shapes and sizes. Talon loves to be on them and play! The one in the pictures is about 1 inch in diameter.

That is so sad........PLEASE keep on that officer about these poor birds. And let us know what happens. It is heartbreaking to see them living like that.
Lidia, I was trying to teach Talon to wave with her foot, but she keeps using her wings, so when she put her foot up, I would give her a high five as I say it. Of course me dancing around and making a very big deal about her high five....helped encourage the behavior! :woohoo: :woohoo:

Like Judy says, get very excited when you put her in a travel cage, and give lots of praise. She will start to realize it's okay. Talon willingly goes into her travel cage, because she now knows after only once or twice that she gets to go out. She loves the car, so its easy for us.
How about do what Wendy does, and just heat up a little warm water in her own cup and give her that? It seems to work for her, and it's better than caffeine......
Lidia, I've been trying to teach Talon to wave, and she will only flap her wings to wave Hi, or good-bye as well!!
Forget the foot thing........but she does give me a high five with her foot.
Yes, I agree, it is a scary thought, letting him free fly while out with other predators. A hungry hawk or vulture wouldn't think twice about snatching dinner when you are near by. I've seen it happen where I live. They'll even snatch a cat if hungry enough. We lost 2 very young cats that way. :(
