The internet is out again until who knows when so I'm currently updating from Greedy's in town. I would have put together a better entry, but the baby needs feeding back at CASA. One day I'll have another interesting entry... one day.

doves and vireos
Well, we had hoped to get a day or two off to do some exploring but the babies keep on coming. Saturday we got in a White-tipped dove fledgling. No real injuries; it was just found on the ground with some ants attempting to attack it. Monday was an exciting day - we released the 3 Yellow-green Vireos. They were slightly confused but flew into a tree. The two White-fronted and two Pionus parrots were transferred to Belize Bird Rescue in order to get some pre-release flight training. They'll likely be released on-site in a couple of months. Tuesday morning brought us another Yellow-green Vireo. He had fluid in his lungs and was gasping for air, but he somehow pulled through and is doing fine now.

"They were slightly confused but flew into a tree."
ReplyDelete...maybe this could be worded a little differently so it doesn't make me see pictures in my head of birdies doing damage to themselves after all your hardwork to raise them up right?
Hahaha.. "flew up into a tree". Better?
