Stella's sore

Saturday morning, Stella had a night fright. Or would it be more of a morning fright since it was about 5 minutes before I was about to get the parrots up? She flailed around her cage, and though she was fine when I got her out, she opened up a small wound on her chest, which you will see in the pictures in subsequent posts.Since she used to mutilate her chest, I am really hoping that this does not trigger another round of mutilation, especially since Thomas isn't around. She loves him, and the stress of his absence could rear its ugly head, resulting in mutilation.

So far, it's been a little over two days, and she's left the wound alone. Fingers crossed.

Poor Stella! These greys are so sensitive to life and its strange human threads that weave in and out and affect them. Steve's chest looks similar to Stella's (plucked), minus the wound. Cross fingers here too! Sending calm thoughts to Stella...

Aww, poor Stella. I hope it heals quickly!
