She looks like she is doing much much better today! Every once and a while she'll gape again, but it seems like for the most part she is back to breathing fairly normally. She's still a little open-mouthed when she breathes, but definitely seems much improved from yesterday. She flaps her wings and shakes her feathers, and in general seems pretty alert.
Question: how should we feed and water her? We haven't fed her any solids, but we're worried that she hasn't been drinking so we've sort of been force feeding her a water solution. We've been making sure she takes in water mixed with electrolytes, sugar, and salt. We're worried that she might be getting liquid into her lungs though. What's the appropriate way to make sure she gets food and water into her?
