I called the Vet last Thursday to see if Dodge's test results were in, and he ended up having to go back. His WBC was over 23000 and his hemoglobin was elevated as well. So now it is a sit and wait. The results should be in tomorrow. However, he isn't acting sick. He is active, curious, and talkative - and for bird wise people, his poo looks normal for a baby bird. In fact it is starting to look more and more like adult birdie poo. Ok, enough about poo. He has decided that even though I cut his wings, he is going to do everything that he can to still fly as much as they will allow him to. He is doing SO well. And Oscar seems to be trying to adjust. He doesn't attack every time he sees Dodge near me. Just when he thinks that Dodge is to close to mommy for his comfort level. Or if startled - which is understandable.
On a side note, we have taken on the project of planting a garden in our back yard. This is a bit more extreme then I thought it was going to be. We have inlisted the help of one of our neighbors to remove the sod (and reuse it in the areas that don't seem to grow grass). Now we are waiting on a good day to go and get the mulch from a friend of his (free is GOOD). Then I have to figure out what I want to plant. Wish me luck!
Also my first class of college is this Thursday night!
