Introducing Yuri! Ona’s New Sister!

She’s still acting great. I am unsure if her meds are doing anything for her foot. It seems about the same

Fingers crossed it will start to help. So happy she’s still acting like herself.

Having a strange foot isn't a big problem for a bird. Joey has two deformed feet and it hasn't handicapped her at all.

Yuri has an appointment for Sept 2 to have the particles removed from her stomach with psyllium therapy. She will have to stay at the vet a couple days for it and it’s expensive. We do not know what the particles are but would rather try and have her pass them so they don’t cause her problems later. It’s unknown if they’re related to her foot through some kind of toxicity. We only know it’s not lead or zinc toxic.

She’s still doing very well and has started spending more time in her new large cage! I tried to set it up with care for her mobility. She’s talkative as ever and a big momma’s girl. She and Ona are getting along very well.

Still trying to get her to eat veggies. She LOVES shredded carrots and eats tons of them but so far that’s about it. She learned how to eat an apple from watching Ona the other day. I then tried the same thing with spinach and she wouldn’t follow Ona’s lead.

Poor Yuri, she really has had a rough start to life, hasn't she? Thank goodness she's got you, @onamom!!

I'd love to see pictures of Yuri's cage setup.
