This post is especially for Gillian (experienced bird rescuer), who’s been checking in on his progress.
She brought Eli a big bird, bath to have a good soak.
However, he’s been too shy to dive in during her visits... so I promised to video it and share with everyone.
He is the cutest little bird! After the bath I dried him off quickly (using the low setting on hairdryer).
Eli’s wing is healing well, the swelling is gone and he is able to hold it up so that it doesn’t droop down. This means I’ve been able to remove the tape supporting his wing and we can begin building up his strength in preparation to start flying lessons!
