On Monday, a hawk attacked her and I was able to scare it away from her. She survived and only had one tiny puncture on her wattle. The next morning, she had one eye closed and I brought her inside to isolate her in a warmer shelter. She’s been very lethargic for the past 2 days; she’s interested in the food presented to her, but pecks at it once and goes back to falling asleep. We’ve been blending her food with water into a paste; we put a little into her beak at a time and let her swallow. Whenever we offer a bit of water to her beak, she will drink a little independently; we have been putting electrolytes in her water. She’s still alive as of now. (In the pictures, it shows both of her eyes closed. When we hold her to feed or clean her bedding, she will open one eye like normal and partially open the other; then, she will start to fall asleep/relax).
