Poorly feathered friend!

Thanks everybody, who has offered all the good advice and the well wishers.

Bluey has all the usual items in his cage, iodine block, cuttle fish, grit in a separate container plus toys. His only treat is an occasional sprig of millet and even that, he will only eat the type bought lose from the pet shop, if it is pre-packed in a box, he won't touch it, neither will he go near any of the seed bells etc. I can only imagine somebody previously must have beaten him with a sprig of millet, hence he is nervous of it............no, only joking.

I have never heard of cilantro, just checked it out on the internet and discovered it is coriander leaves. I will persevere with parsley, if nothing else it will give him fresh smelling breath.....

Digressing. Many years ago, I had a beautiful Beagle b1tch, Snoopy and she was the runt of the litter. Consequently, when we had her mated, we had to have her mated with an American Beagle, called Washington Post aka Smartie. The poor little love needed a caesarian and only produced two puppies. We kept the b1tch and the pair of them became inseparable. When Snoopy died, Bimbo pined, in fact I thought she was going to die. It was awful, she would not eat, if I went to pick her up, she would cry. Suffice to say, she got over it. I broke my heart when she died, it was also at the time I was going through my divorce and I use to tell her everything.

I then had to work full time and also move house, so it was not fair to have another dog. That was when I adopted the first orphaned budgie and back to the beginning of my little story.

So far so good, his eye looks much better than yesterday. Tomorrow is Monday and I will take him back to the vet just for a check over.

............giggles, the site won't allow me to use the word b1tch
