Outing went pretty well yesterday. And this morning while all cages were cleaned she was out with the others for quite some time. That seemed to go well too. I also got to have a look at the affected area; it looks like she has taken the worse of the lump off, but not gone totally flat ...... and there is no obvious injury site, so have to presume it has healed up nicely. It is going to take some time for her to grow back some feathers ...... not quite sure whether they were shaved, or clipped a little or just what. All going well, I will put her back with the others on Monday.  |

She's baaaack! Back in with the others, but I will make sure she takes time out this afternoon and rests up. She has lost weight, which she did have to lose, but I am surprised at how quickly. She has been eating the whole time but mostly her grass and millet; very little seed. I don't think she liked the pot I put it in, because as soon as I put her back in the big cage, for some company, she went straight for the seed pots.  She is having a little kip now ...... shhhhhhh ........ I hope she doesn't lose any more weight. |

One of my regrets with Abbie is that I did not realise how much weight she had lost  I weigh them all once a week religiously now. |

I know groats are fattening for budgies Hezz, does Smudgy like them, perhaps eating a few of those occasionally would help her fatten up a bit.

Marianne, I haven't actually weighed her, but will. She feels more like Sparky on my finger now, and she has lost her tubby tum. It is not a bad thing, but I don't want her to lose any more. Shirls, I am going to put back some of the oats I religiously pull out of the seed, plus when she is having some quiet time away from the others, I am giving her some millet as well. She is getting spoilt. I don't give them millet sprays that often, because I hate the mess they make.  |

Perhaps she is feeling a little fitter then Hezz? Yes millet can be messy, I cant count the amount of newspapers I have in the house to catch all the bits! But I think the buds have truly brainwashed me, as every time I say to my OH "I need to buy some more Trill" the word Millet comes out instead of Trill?! Whats happening?!  |

Hezz, if you can, I would weigh her every few days just to make sure she is not losing too much.
