It's been about a month since Darjeeling was poked, prodded and stabbed by various vets, who finally decided they didn't really know what was going on, gave her a few medications just in case, and sent her home. At first, she wasn't flying well, her vent area was a mess, and she slept a lot. But over time she got back her flying skills, I (once again) hardly noticed her handicap of a broken back toe, and she cleaned up her vent area, feathers grown back and all.

But today, she's on the floor, for the first time sitting in the heat of the light I put there for her about a month ago, not feeling well.

Well, she had an extra month, right?
