I haven't hand fed him for several days now and he is definitely eating on his own. But with each progressive day his weight is a little bit less.
I have been taking him out into the open aviary a few times and he seems to like it. He flies a lot at home but not in the aviary. He seems pretty fed up with being in the tub but I'm worried that he might fall in the cage.
Maybe not being in his cage is making him depressed? Maybe you could try it and see how he does? Birds and animals in general are surprisingly resilient.
If you don't want to try I understand completely! Such an injury is so scary. I hope he gets better soon, he sounds like he is on the mend, little by little. Scritches for Truman!!!
