my cockatiel.

There was a new development with my cockatiel recently, which made me realise how mildly interesting the saga had become.. so a blog beckoned.

So we acquired this small parrot about two months ago now, and it had been all smooth sailing until he took a tumble a couple of weeks ago courtesy of my sister. His wings had previously been taped together to stop him flying around the house, so when he was knocked off his perch he fell pretty hard.

After taking him to the vet, it was confirmed that Percival's leg was broken, and the recommended response was to put him down. We didnt have it in us to do that, so the little fella went under the knife that night, and emerged healthy from the operation. Since the op he has been wearing a splint on his leg, and takes antibiotics twice a day.

The thing that amazes me the most in this is that Perry's leg would be thinner than your average drinking straw; that's one skilled surgeon operating on him. But yes, Perry's well and truly on the road to recovery and it looks like this comical saga has come to an end
