I have been reiterating the word 'Heng' (lucky!) umpteen times when Twinkle's condition was asked. I deeply appreciate all my friends concerns and once again thank them. Thanks for being there to encourage me!
Upon reading the first paragraph, you would have figure out how's Twinkle. I still insist not to spell things out too loud till the next review. It uplifted our spirits when we heard the first chirp from Twinkle after 3 days! And it brightened our days even further when we saw him start feeding on the millet spray! Thank god! Heng! He started to struggle when i held him tight for handfeeding. Once he gained the freedom, he would jump jump jump to his cage and climbed all his way up. Dating would so much wanted to come out of her cage to interact with him. BUt no...... not now. I believe Twinkle is not totally well yet but he will be. Now is the tail bobbing that worries me. I was trying not to read too much into it. Coz tail bobbing usually associates with respiratory problem. I told myself as long as i dun see him open and close his beak while breathing, it's fine.
This weekend was a very draining one. Yida knew my thoughts. His family brought muffin over on friday night when Twinkle was in the most critical condition. Muffin kinda distract our worries for Twinkle. We brought muffin for a very very long walk after i fed Twinkle. We ran 750m around the park and walked around Tampines. Yes, it was really long long walk. The walk ended with a 7 storey stairs climbing lol. Guess wat? Our girl still got energy to play after that. A dehydrated chicken feet was given as reward for her!
Our attention drew back to Twinkle. Watching him closely and all. There were progress if you have seen the previous entry. We just continued to feed him the magical concoction. I went to my Sunday lessons which half of the time i'm thinking of my pets. Yida shocked me in his finding of a tick in muffin's chest fur! Glad that his family got so worried till they all searched muffin upside down and found none. The only tick found was actually dead when verified. No blood sucked. According to Jadey, dogs on barf usu less susceptible to ticks infestion. I'm glad she's on barf. If not that tick would have been on her skin, sucking happily and laying eggs. I rushed back to his home to bath muffin before going home to feed Twinkle.
After her raw egg feast and shaving paws session!
This girl actually slept when i washed her face. She finally learnt to be bathed calmly. We are so glad! We rushed back to my house for dinner and a spring cleaning for the cages! Really huge project! We took out all the perches, toys, sleeping tent, coconut and dismantled everything. Yida would wash the cages and i would do the washing of the rest. It took us two full hours.
By Sunday, Twinkle tried to masturbate on my hair! For the first time, i'm estatic! I still insist on handfeeding him till fully recover and put on weight. While i was working on my reports, i peeped into the hospital cage every now and then. Whenever he caught me doing that he would jump off from his perch to run and peep back at me.
The gleam in his eyes has reappeared. HENG!
There were times when i find him fighting the thermometer which was dangling from the top of the cage. lol We are just so happy to see him back. It was really a miracle! Whatever concoction i made for Twinkle, i feed Dating as well. She's one fat birdie!
I wanted to go home during lunch time to handfeed Twinkle, but yida forbid me to do so. He said he would rush home after his school to help me. And coz of that, he didn't do his FYP. Many times, i tot to myself, without him, my life is going to be worse. At least there is someone who i could depend on and can represent my presence. Be it to my family or pets. He really lighten my burden alot. Haha... to think that i often boss him around to do things..... he also let me.... haha how nice! I am really thankful to have him around!
