Claudia, attached is the fostering Agreement.
Thanks also for the recipes. I am always looking for new bird recipes.

You can also make birdie bread with pellets. Use a box of Jiffy
corn mix, add eggs and shells, some soaked pellets and/or (add Zupreem Avian
Entrees Spicy pellets into the mix), organic unsweetened applesauce, mashed
banana, orange juice, other veggies, nuts, a bit of cinnamon, etc. I spend a
lot of time and $$ at Trader Joe's buying raw nuts, dried/unsulphured fruit,
etc and dump them into the rice mix or bread mix I use. I'm including a
couple recipes that I have found work well with big birds.
I probably didn't send you all the foster parent material because the initial
plan was to adopt. I've attached a few documents and I apologize if I've
sent some earlier or if there are duplicates. We have been rewriting and
consolidating some information and I haven't looked through today to see what
info I'm attaching - it is all good and valid even if duplicate. Please
send in the foster agreement.

I noticed that Selena is missing a little less than 1/2 of her (index?) toe on her right foot…this appears to be an old injury. It looks like her beak has a crack that healed or was fixed….I'm not familiar with Green Wings, but in all the pictures I have in books none have such a crack crack. I'll try to get a close up picture over the next few days after she becomes more comfortable.
Dr. Speer hopes that next Thursday when he removes the bandages she'll have enough scar and other tissue grown to not require further bandaging, this will allow her to move around and use her wing somewhat. Selena having range of motion will hopefully prevent her Ulna and radius from fusing together which is a risk if she remains bandaged too long.
Oh I love your pellet and medicine ideas…very creative. I will try them. I have some late harvest wine grapes growing on several vines, I'll go pick some and try grapes with Selena.
