Au Contrere mon ami-Hummers can be quite aggressive chasing other hummer away from a feeder or males chasing other males away from females.
The extinct Elephant bird was not flighted.
I would not force feed you may aspirate that guy. Let him settle in and provide small meals and treats during the day. Pretend you are eating some and make it sound yummy-smacking lips and UMMM sounds.
You have been given some excellent ideas and advice and your heart is leading you the right direction. Mooki is going to be alright and happier then he ever had a chance at before. Keep on going and you will see and hear more progress to share with us all cheering you on. Yay for Mooki and his progress and Yay for you giving him a new chance at a happy life.
On safety you also need to avoid roasting bags and oven cleaner sprays, open pots of hot liquids when your bird is loose.<br><br>Post edited by: Greywings, at: 2010/02/01 15:42
There was too much cloud deck for us to enjoy it then but last night we got glimpses through the veil of clouds. Did any of you see this update on Gamma flashes in our upper Atmo? Oh, I love the name of the spacecraft.
TERRESTRIAL GAMMA-RAY FLASHES: There's a mystery in the skies of Earth. Something is producing bright flashes of gamma radiation in the upper atmosphere of our own planet. A spacecraft called 'Firefly' is going to investigate: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2010/29jan_firefly.htm
That is a simply gorgeous photograph.<br><br>Post edited by: Greywings, at: 2010/02/01 15:34
There is also a concern for the type of bacteria carried in a dogs mouth and paws to consider. I would give your local Avian Veterinary specialist a ring to discuss what to look for. Please check back in with us as to your babies status today.
