No calls that resulted in intakes last week, so LWR is currently holding steady with the overwintering screech, the screech who’s now slated for euthanasia, and the Coop whose progress has stalled, making his future uncertain, as well.
The overwintering red phase screech continues to become more and more “screechy” in his behavior. Recall, if you will, he’d been held illegally for 3 months before coming to LWR, arriving with severely compromised feathers from bad caging and questionable nutrition. He was traumatized and acted nothing like a normal pissy screech. Now, after several months of a proper diet, a late-season full molt, and being left alone except when being fed (or moved inside during cold spells), he’s truly a proper screech again: hissy, pissy, glaring at me when I place his food in the mini-pen—the whole nine yards. And it’s glorious to see!
