The Foster 'tiels

So for a week I've had these foster 'tiels and I've just been too busy to post about them. But now, here they are.

First we have Jack Sparrow:



When I got him last week, Jack had a cloudy eye. On Monday I took him to the vet and turns out he has a scratched cornea. We've been applying ointment to it twice a day and he's getting much better, although those feathers around his eye may never be the same. I started calling him Pirate because he only had one eye, but then switched it to Jack Sparrow.

Next we have his 'mate', Elizabeth:


This is not a great picture of her but that's the best she would let me get.

And finally, there's Will Turner:



They all live together in the same cage:

(that's Jack on the left, Elizabeth in the center, and Will on the right)

And apparently have for the last 5 years. Jack got his cornea scratch, most likely, from a fight with Will. You might ask how I know the sexes of these birds and the truth is I don't. It's been kind of like solving a logical problem. Since Jack apparently got into a fight I'm going to assume he's a male. Since Jack and Elizabeth are the closest pair of the 3, I'm going to assume she's a female. And, since Jack had to fight with someone, most likely another male, I'm going to assume that Will Turner is a male also.

There you have it, my foster birdies and a view inside my twisted mind :)
