OMG thanks that was sooooo cute, and I loved your wee man and is fancy footwork

My gosh, the fancy footwork was amazingly cute.

Here's one of toast breathing on my tablet. She has left with her Mum and Dad to head back to Detroit this morning. The house will be quieter without her.

And for fun, Betty was up on the footstool having some corn when Sydney surprised her. I love her reaction.

Yeah. At 0.2ml I would have done the soaked bread. This is a whole 0.9-1.1ml (depending on which chicken). It sounds like a tiny amount but it was daunting!

I remember giving ~1mL to Ruby of clotrimazole for doughy crop. I did tiny volumes under her tongue with a syringe. Today I might do the finger swipe method, instead. Is that what you did? I like that the paste has way less chance of aspirating than liquid.

I read this again. Collecting is as fun as it sounds!!!

24 hours from all birds!!
If anyone needs a handy tip - keep some of those little wood spatulas that come with some ice cream handy.
My sample pot when submitted included three heavily used ice cream spoons!

Tasty! LOL.

We don't get enough rain often enough for any of them to be very familiar with worms. The "what is this? Nevermind, I'm for breakfast. " was a bit comical. I played with the thing a bit, then Cuckoo got interested. She's also the first one willing to try mice.....and the one with the biggest crop (bulges out 1.5-2 inches and is 3.5-4 inches across in evening), but isn't the largest bird here (close, but Pear is broader, Silver a little bit broader and Storm a bit taller with the wyandotte curves). Now I need to try to get a good series of stuffed crop pics....

Look at that neck. She rivals Sydney in the giraffe department!

Oops. Did not mean to post yet.

And Bob, that last photo is spectacular. You should enter it on the caption thread. Or do they pick randomly?

I like Cuckoo’s style!
