small trigger ? one word used to describe an injury but all is good in the end
The hi-lite of my days these past 2 weeks has been nursing a woodpecker back to health after a nasty fall. He flew into a second story window & plumeted to the stone walkway below breaking his right wing. When I picked him up I thought for sure he wasn't going to make it due to 'blud'-loss but he is back to what I presume to be his normal level of energy. I still have to keep his broken wing bandaged for 2 more weeks until I can test him for flight. I may wait 3 just to be sure.
He has improved so much that I now take him outside 2x each day to play on a tree. He spirals the tree base, working his way up pecking away at ants & other bugs. I'm trying to keep his feet exercised & healthy. Otherwise, he is housed in my bathtub-turned-make shift forest munching on seeds, suet, bread & fruit. He's whippy over apples!

So cute.
Tried to upload a picture that I took of him playing on the tree but it was too big, I guess. Don't know much about changing the size of photos. Anyway, when he takes flight it will be an amazing event for me, & no doubt him!
I've attached a picture of him playing on the tree.
