Phoebe has mostly just been sleeping since we got home. Other than being tired and not hungry (which the vet said to expect), she seems to be doing just fine....

Thank the deities! That is such a relief to hear. Poor Phoebe. Things we learned yesterday: 1. Always cover the windows 2. When we are making a commotion...
In addition to the other stuff I already mentioned, it just occurred to me that having on hand at flydays printed directions/map/phone to the nearest emergency...
Nate, Thanks for letting us know. Please keep us posted on her progress. We are all concerned about her. Suzanne Nate W <delaminator@...> wrote: Phoebe...
She's eating this morning, I offered her a few soft foods (chewy granola bar, cooked pasta, bean salad, etc) last night and she wasn't interested, but now...
That is so good to hear Nate. Did you actually see her hit the window? I thought she hit the wall when I looked up. Nate W <delaminator@...> wrote: ...
Nate, thank you for the update on Phoebe. We all know it could have been any of our birds or new people's birds, and fortunately it's turning out that we were...
All good ideas Jean. Calling it early at 3pm is fine. If we have to pay for extra guard time or rental time, perhaps the person whose bird is in the rafters...
Nate: Thanks so much for the update! It sure was scarey, wasn't it? It wasn't until I got home AFTER it all happened that it all kindof sunk in and I just...
I think that this sounds like a good suggestion. Now I'm contemplating alternative methods of "coaxing" a bird down from the rafters. At first I thought about...
I think both of those would be too dangerous in case either hit a bird, especially a radio controlled plane. Hard to come up with alternatives though!!!! I...
She ate really well today, flew a little bit (of her own accord, I had nothing to do with it) and even chewed on some wood for fun. She turned in a little...
Oh boy, that's what I want to hear. Thanks for the update. Suzanne Nate W <delaminator@...> wrote: She ate really well today, flew a little bit (of her...
One possible way to get a bird off the rafters may be by using a helium-filled balloon. I was thinking a long string could be attached and held by the person...
Hi Rebecca: Ha...This sounds too much like some sort of a sport..... Honestly, I think the BEST solution is training. We very seldom have birds fly up in the...
I think that's a great idea...it may take a heavier weight balloon than the typical party sort to manuever it well, but we can start off investigating this. It...
Since I'm typing, one more quick idea for "more training". This is a very easy training exercise you can do at home. (Now I feel like Richard Simmons -...
