isnt it crazy that june is pride month but also the month of dhmis holiday

Boo is coming home on Monday! He is back to having a normal appetite (like the porkatoo he is), and I’m dropping off his baby food tomorrow so the vet techs can try getting him to take his meds that way 🤞🤞🤞. He will still need to be nebulized twice daily but he seems to like that kind of medication . When we visited today he was just wrapping up helping Lisa eat an egg roll. Boo is also back to being extremely amorous. I’m excited that he’s coming home because I was so worried and missed my morning Boo time these past two weeks! #porkatoo #cockatoo #sickbird #lunginfection #goffincockatoo #goffinscockatoo #stlpets #lifetimecommitment #bestbird #boobird (at Bird Medicine and Surgery) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cg3B067r6bN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I found a very sick pigeon this morning. It won't move, open its eyes, or unfluff, and hasn't reacted to its surroundings or even to being picked up and placed in the carrier. I saw no injuries in the very quick once-over I gave it. It's risky keeping it in my apartment, because of the risk of disease transmission to my own pigeon Callisto. Unfortunately, the only wildlife rehab place that I know will take it only accepts new animals from 8:30am to 10:30am, so I'm keeping it in a separate room under quarantine. I don't know what's wrong with it. It can't balance (wobbles drastically from side to side if disturbed at all), hasn't stood up at all, was cold to the touch, won't open its eyes, and doesn't react to anything around it. Its breathing seems normal. It hasn't passed any droppings yet, but I'll check those once it does.
