The Next Day!

Yesterday General Beauregard Grey (Beau) went to the vet and underwent the removal of 22 flight and secondary feathers on his right wing. To report his progress I thought I would add some pictures.

 

First - his appetite is almost double what it was prior to the vet visit. I had been concerned about his weight fluctuating between 390 and 400 and then this morning at 381 I was seriously concerned. Here he is at breakfast and later around lunch:

 

 

He ate all of his formula for breakfast, some greenbeans and sweet potatoes and a few pellets. At lunch he ate almost 8 of the Harrison's pellets and one small cheeto (he stole that one).

 

This afternoon he's found a new friend:

 

"Bend down some, I can't reach there"

"I'll just climb up here and get to the right spot"

"Thanks Blue, that was perfect, time to just sit here and rest"

 

He's just finished 5 more Harrison's pellets and formula for the evening (a little early - he was chirping for food!) Don't know how I'm gonna keep him fed if he eats like this every day! (Just kidding - I own stock in Harrison's)

why did the feathers have to be removed?

What a sweet face!

Ah Robin, he's looking happier day by day. It is so clear to see how he's improving under your absolutely excellent care.

 

I love that shot of Tequila and GBG - it is just sooooo sweet.

 

Have you tried taking the Harrison's out of the packet - he might find it much easier to consume ha ha ha! :laugh:

The vet removed them due to the condition of the - extremely chewed - and in an effort to stop the behavior. Also to help in the regrowth of the new feathers.
