kiffieThere was some nommin' going on last night. I found seed shells in one of the water dishes in Jackie's cage. :D
I don't know if they were from the actual seed dish, or from the pile I put next to the seed dish (in case said dish was too difficult to eat from). But they were there.
Also, last night, I took a syringe and gave Jackie some water. I'm not sure if she's drinking on her own or not-- at least, I haven't seen her drink --but I want to make sure she's getting some fluids. It went well. This morning, I tried to do the same. My thumb came very, very close to bleeding where she got a-hold of me.
This is great! It means her strength is improving!
But my thumb-- ! D:
Ow.
Anyway. In addition to nearly taking off one of my fingers, she's perching again. She climbed all the way up to her perches, all by herself. As long as she's leaning against something for balance, she appears to be alright. I don't know if she'll be able to balance and eat at the same time, so her food and water stay on the cage floor for now.
