endlessraritiesTerrible news!!
I just phoned Hessilhead, and evidently Jackdaw #2278 and Pigeon #2287 were both too weak and emaciated to pull through. They died over the weekend, evidently.
Okay, so it's no great loss to the bird world, but it's quite depressing. I thought that this time, they at least had a fighting chance...
They don't know the cause, and don't plan to find out, because they don't usually do autopsies unless there's a general problem to address.
But Squinty is still doing well, I'm pleased to say. Her tail is definitely no longer squint, and she's looking rather dapper now the moult is almost through...
