Home for a While

It looks like Mimi’s bird will be staying with us for a while. It had an incident with an evil evil kid last Friday (not Mimi) which when I think about it still makes me boiling mad. Needless to say it wasn’t an accident and now the bird who was starting to hop around Friday morning cannot walk. To move it uses its beak and butt to scoot itself around. It’s pretty sad to watch. We took it to the vet on Sunday and luckily the wings are still fine however one of the leg is hurt and the bird can’t use it. It is still eating well so it is a good sign that it will recover. An interesting thing though is that the doctor said that birds do have a sense of cleanliness and they try not to poop inside their nests. This poses a problem for us because since it can’t walk, that means we have to take it out of its nest for it to poop periodically. This reminds me of my friends with dogs, in which during the day they have to go back home and let the dog out to do it’s business however I never heard anybody doing the same thing for a bird. Well since Mimi's bird will be here for a while it is probably time to pick out a name. So far 'Latte' and 'Decaf' has been rejected...
