Miss Sarah was at it again today. She found a lovebird under our palm tree on the front lawn. Poor little thing looked like it had flown in the heat and was exhausted. I put my gardening gloves on and picked it up, it squaked once. We rushed it around to the Vet who happened to be closed!!! So we came back home and put it in the cage with Jazz, our budgie. He just gave me a dirty look. Lovebird (named Tweak by Sarah) promptly keeled over on his back. This does not look good I thought ... I will give it a drink. The only thing I could find to use was a pink water pistol. So there I was, shooting water into the beak of this stiff as a board lovebird with a pink pistol. Anybody walking in not knowning the story would have called the little white men. It drank a fair bit and is now kind of sitting up looking around. I've given it a few chopped up grapes. Jazz is now giving Tweak the dirty looks instead of me. Things are looking up.
