Dirty little Birdie is having a tough time staying clean as you can see. He eats well, and is gaining some strength, but still has a ways to go before he's feeling 100%. He's still too weak to endure constant bathing, so we do a wipe down with a warm cloth after he eats. Poor little guy tries so hard to keep himself clean, but all he manages to do is smear the food left in his mouth around his fur. I'm thinking that seeing as his tongue has yet to regain function, it must affect his salivary glands as well. I don't want him aspirating water, as he still cranes his neck like a baby bird, so he needs time to swallow. He adores his blanket!



It's not Sheik...it's CHIC!!!



Such a dirty little Birdie *sigh* It takes sooo much out of him doing a full bathing. In good time right?


I'm hoping so much that my little tongue starts to work very soon.
