Critter updates:

Grey squirrel with spinal bruising has regained use of his hind legs again, and very slowly gaining the use of and strength in them.

Raven is so smart! We hide his food around his area to keep him engaged. He's learning to open cardboard boxes to discover treats inside (his favorites? dried mealworms and the yolks of hard-boiled eggs). He makes the funniest sounds when we're not in the room with him. And when I'm arranging his room and "hiding" stuff, the feathers on top of his head over his eyes pouf up like little thought-bumps as he watches me and analyzes things.

Cedar waxwing fledgling is still terribly off balance, but much more energetic (which is a mixed blessing). He's let us know he likes fruit, fruit, and only fruit, and please keep your nasty mealworms and baby bird formula to yourselves! (but every now and then, we sneak a bit in, to make sure he's getting some protein). In the meanwhile, he's feasting on blueberries, raspberries, and bits of grape and cantalope. 

Robin with balance issues isn't just spinning in circles any more, but has started to be able to forage a little (thanks for all the organic worms, Robin Mainella Annala!) and to perch. We'll still hand-feeding him, though.

Baby mouse opened his eyes yesterday, and is gaining weight nicely--up from 3g when we got him to 5g today.

Baby bunnies--doing well, and eating mountains of greens. Turbo-suck bun is still "milking" our kindheartedness, and refusing to wean off milk completely (and I cave in to him every day, because I love feeding him!)

Baby pigeon--what a cutie, built like a tank and eats like a teenaged boy. Other adult pigeons recovering nicely from various injuries. 

So there you have it!
