Little birdie..

I know, haven't posted in a week or so...and blame it on the change of weather and illness.
Last Tuesday,I had to take my bird,Green,to the vet.How hard is it to find a vet for birds in Daejeon? A nightmare.I found one by chance at Carrefour Yuseong.Dr.Yoon speaks English well and he was very thorough with examining birdie.She had x-rays,no broken bones and had torn a ligament or a muscle.He gave me meds to give her a few times a day.She didn't like that and spat it out.I made her a bed and kept her warm.She showed no signs of being able to sit on the perch,without trying to balance with her beak....hence, the bed.Meanwhile the meds, somehow went in.She was no longer in pain,but not moving much.Blue (boy) is alone in the cage.On Friday evening,I had them both flying around in the house and they did whatever they wanted.Good times.
Today I took her back to the vet.What is the problem?Why can't she move or use her right foot? Dr. said that she needs to exercise it,with my help.So now,I have to gently stretch that leg 21 times(yikes) a day.I hope she gets better soon,could be two weeks.
Poor birdie..thing is,she hasn't lost that ability to bite your fingers.
