A little bird for CY


When I found this little honey-eater the day it fell out of it's nest, it had broken tail, patches of bare skin with ants all over it, and it couldn't even hold it's head up. A few days later it had a verocious appetite, and was wobbling in and out of it's 'bed'. A week later it could take small flights ot land on the floor. Now (a month later), it's flying around my room. It totally reminds me of you CY!

It's tail feathers are still crooked, and it isn't strong enough to fly outside yet, but it's a brilliant patient and is getting better in leaps and bounds :)  xx Rosey
