Superbowl

Was excited to see the baby Screech outside of its box yesterday, and not only that, but it has a new neighbor! This is the newest one taking a nap. Like people babies, holding up that big head is a lot of work, so they just plop down to give themselves a break.

This is the one that showed up last week. Glad to see it adjusting to clinic life.

This was my first look at the new one. It didn't know what to make of me and was doing the circular head bobbing to give me a good once over.

Someone else had beat me to feeding them. Boo.

I did manage to grab a pic of a opossum baby. They tend to scurry off as soon as they're spotted so I was happy to finally catch one.

I just dropped off their meal and I saw it stick its nose out and start sniffing, so I just stood still and waited.

I mixed up lots of different formulas for the next day or two. Raccoon milk and skunk milk were the 2 I can remember. The skunk milk smelled pretty good... 😁

Did some birds also. The Cooper's Hawk was very hungry and I got to watch him "hunt" the bird I left for him and start eating. Got to feed some bluebirds and that was my first good look at them. The baby jays double in size each week I see them. Fed them mealworms and blueberries.

I met the raven I heard about last week! The girls were afraid to reach in there to clean up his thing, so I'm like I'll give it a go! I pulled back its privacy towel and that thing was huge! Getting the messy paper out wasn't bad, as it moved around me, but when it came time for the new paper, it didn't like me working around its legs and looked to get uncomfortable. I quickly grabbed a raptor handling glove from the table next to me! I got it all resituated and called it a day with that guy! I didn't grab a pic because it's latch was a little finicky and I didn't know its behaviors, so I just wanted to concentrate on the job this time.
