He must know you are all on his side - he seems pretty good again today. But very fluffed at times - that is his norm now, unfortunately.

Good boy Bluey. You keep eating and drinking and stop worrying Hezz, Sparky and Smudge.

Oh, Marianne, Smudge is only concerned about herself! And how it may impact on her. She really is a law unto herself. Sparky on the otherhand, I am sure, if he would sit still for two seconds, has lost weight that he didn't have to lose, worrying back and forth and trying to reach Blue. And when he can, when he stops trying too hard then he gets down to feeding Bluey. He fed him on my shoulder last night. We have worked a bit of a system out this week, a bit of eggfood first thing in the morning, before the other two come out. He has seed and millet all the time, but every once ina while I offer him something, eggfood or millet, and obligingly Bluey will have a bit or a lot. He is such a good patient, but very tired of the baby cage. I do think he doesn't need the added stress of Sparky most of the time though. So another bounce back for the Blue, yay, another week has gone by, a week I didn't think he would see the end of. That is another of his nine lives lived.

Hes certainly a little fighter Hezz! I'm sure all the love and care you have given him has made all the difference to his strong will to live. Whatever happens now, you have done absolutely everything possible for him. Its amazing how tough a wee bird can be. Thinking of you both x

Thank you, Nat, BF and Marianne. He is quite animated today, I even put him in with the other two for a while this morning. He is sitting on my shoulder now having a nap. And very little fluffing today too. I am amazed! His flying has gone to bits, though - he can't maintain the height he needs, so ends up on the floor mostly, and comes running over to me to pick him up, he is just too sweet!

Update - Bluey has continued to improve. To the extent where I have put him back into the big cage with the others. The only time he is separate is when they are on their "veges and grass seed diet" time. He is rather skinny and don't want to take his food away so he is in the little cage then, if I am out, with all the trimmings - seed, millet, grass seeds, veges - and he has been eating his veges again too, something he stopped doing last week. Also, his flying has improved - he is able to get some height, not a lot, but he is no longer just gliding to the floor.

That is brilliant Hezz. It's good that he can be with his friends. Hope Sparky isn't hassling him too much.

Thanks heaps, guys. He is such a trojan.
It is amusing watching three little birds running around on the floor. Bluey has always been a bit of a floor forager, but the other two prefer the safety of height. But now Blue often ends up on the floor, both Sparky and Smudge have taken to joining him at times. They are ending up in places the two young ones just never venture to - I think Sparky is part sheep-dog as he is constantly trying to round Bluey up and send him in another direction.
