Madchicken, I'm so sorry. When my grandmother passed, it was from an artery bursting in her chest. The doctors managed to get it sealed up, then found that a second artery had burst in her abdomen..........when it's their time to go, they go. Love to you and yours.
So yesterday, I grabbed my turkey that we just recaptured and clipped her wings. While I was holding her, I noticed a wound on one wing. It was kind of nasty, so we slathered neosporin on it. I'm now pretty convinced that the neighbor's dog did try to get her, which was why she left our yard and got lost. If that dog had her by the wing, this just goes to show how smart of a bird she really is. She got away from a dog and got away from however many people by staying on their roofs. And I'd better not catch that dog in my yard, or it will not be a happy day. My birds are my babies. Grrrr.
