It’s just that time of year...Currently LWR has two “matched sets”—2 screeches and 2 barreds.
Our red phase screech, who was held illegally for three months, continues his molt; he’s looking better and better and acting more and more like a screech weekly.

The gray phase is back to closing his eyes so I can’t see him; as you can see, that left wing is showing little improvement. Since x-rays confirmed no fractures right after he came to LWR, now we’re just hoping this isn’t soft tissue/nerve damage that won’t heal...but it’s beginning to look that way.
The barred who had the blood-filled eye continues to show improvement. About half the eyeball remains blood-filled; the rest has been reabsorbed. He’s in the main flight now and will hopefully be good for release in a week or so.
The second barred, who just came in today, is still very concussed. Right now, he really doesn’t know up from down, poor fellow, but nothing seems to be broken. There may be internal injuries but there’s been no black, tarry poop to indicate internal bleeding, so that’s promising. Barring any internal injuries, he just needs a safe place to recover from a massive headache.
And with the Christmas season upon us, there will be a few changes in the weekly updates (don’t worry; I’ll remind y’all in each subsequent update):
- Dec. 11—the usual update
- Dec. 18 update will be postponed till Monday the 19th
- Dec. 25—no update
- Jan. 1 update will be postponed till Jan. 2
