Fractured Spine

[Allee]

Awww, I am so glad to hear Ri is back in charge and shouting orders! I hope it doesn't take a year or two before you are able to relax, but if it does, I understand. Ri is truly a miracle and I am so happy for both of you.

Thanks Allee. Yes, he has even more of a sense of entitlement than before.
Good job I love him.

Hope all is well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thinking of you and your sennie!

Ah, thank you. :smile015:

He is back to being a little clown with a big attitude.

He tells me off, if I won't let him do something he wants and he knows he rules the house again. He's got all his confidence back (a little too much some days).

I look at him strutting around, with his alpha male ego and it makes me smile.

I'm still trying to stop him doing too much hanging upside down etc but he's very stubborn and independent.

He's on my lap right now, trying to steal my toast and fluttering his eyelashes at me. That's a tactic he uses, if just grabbing it doesn't work.

He's back to being loud and quite hyper - though I make sure he's still having his afternoon naps, so he's properly rested.

He gets a little bit out of breath sometimes and he can look a little uncomfortable if he overfills his crop. I think that's because his back is permanently bent now, and all his insides have shifted over a little. But he is coping so well and has a great quality of life. He is enjoying every minute of it.

I know how lucky I am to still have him - and I truly appreciate that every single day.

Thank you SO much for the most amazing and wonderful update!!!

I've got goosebumps now. Love prevailed! :smile015: Hugs to you again, just because you are one very special parront.

Oh wonderful! :jumping40 I am so glad you had such amazing luck, that is truly a miracle. So many people lose birds being sick etc but a fractured spine and surviving?! Miracle. So happy for you. I am so excited!!!! :1218::59:

 

[SennieSlave]

Thank you both - he amazes me every day.

I know how lucky and blessed I am at having such a little fighter. I'm still more anxious than usual with him but am starting to relax a little.

He's currently sitting on the window sill, looking out and making shooting noises at the stray cat that's in the garden.

Once again - thank you to everyone who sent prayers and support. It really did make a difference and I appreciate it so much. :smile015:

And that's why this is the best forum ever. Support and love of birds from good people.

So glad to hear Ri continues to thrive!

Every bird and parront deserve such a miracle of recovery!

So glad to hear he is getting back to his normal self! You are a wonderful parront and he is lucky to have you caring for him like you do!

Good job!

Maybe hanging upside down will stretch things out, lol. Joking! I'm so glad to hear he's doing so good. Sounds like he's going to keep you in line for a long time, lol.

Thanks everyone - he's amazing, bless him.
