ok, here's a pic of the youngest one..I've had enormous trouble spilling crap all over the poor lil bugger, and had to wrap him up and wipe him down. Can't say they're my fave bird to put it politely ;)
When I first introduced my baby to the nectar I held his beak into it until he started drinking. I relaxed my hand and he escaped by diving into the dish. Poor little bugger was upside down in the stuff, flapping and panicking. I had to bath him to get the gunk out.
hahahahha I've shown him the D cup (the older one) but he forgets everyday and needs to be shown again. Then as the day goes on the D cup gets emptier, so I know he knows...lil shit! Thankfully the juvie lorri is smarter and is fully feeding himself. But the poor bugger....another member had an adult in care since september with a suspected broken wing, turns out it was a runner so the lorri is in isolation in the back verandah :( Bleaching everything was fun too! not!!
we should be having this convo in the wires community. I'll do a post there later with the pics of what I have atm, and hopefully we can attract some more members. I know we have the intranet, but it's too slow..they need a chatroom! *runs off to physio*
meant to say the older lorri got the green needle...be interesting to see if 24 hours contact will give the juvie beak & feather and if it does, how long it'll take to show signs...
That'd make sense as the diesease is carried in the wing/feather dust. If the rain's not there to make them groom and frequent baths, then it's goona escalate. Just another outcome of global warming I guess.
