So, today was fun. (End of story -- all is well.) We woke up and Annabella was acting weird. It always takes her a long time before her initial poop but, once she was finished, she didn't yell to attract my attention so I'd let her out. When I did open the door she stayed in. I put my hand in to give her a ride and she moved away to the farthest corner.

When she came out, all her walking was 3-point (2 feet, 1 beak) and she was fluffed up. I kept handing her little pieces of breakfast and she'd take one bite and drop it. The rest of the time her beak was on the bars. So I called the vet. An urgent visit is $210+. Otherwise they couldn't see her until tomorrow.

Cab to 88th & Columbus -- $25 + tip. She perked up a bit and, once we got there, it was obvious that she was favoring her left leg. The vet is really nice. Nothing is broken. With female birds, the left leg can be indicative of gyn problems so she had an x-ray (her insides are fine) and blood work (I'll hear tomorrow.) But it looks like it was just a sprain.

Less traffic coming home so I saved about $5 there. And they very sweetly charged me for a regular visit instead of an urgent one so the vet bill was "only" $526.

And they had to give her a little anesthesia so she'd be still for the x-ray. But she's still a little groggy so she's having even more trouble walking. I've locked her in her cage for her safety until she's less woozy.
How in da werld did she sprain it ? Frum jumping around ?? :blink:

Not bad news, just a little nerve wracking.

She probably got a toenail caught in something (common when it's time for a manicure) and got the booboo tugging it loose. If she gets caught in my clothing, she waits for me to ease it free but if she got stuck on something else…
Well my goodness :unsure: I don't know anything about birds. Dis is new education to me. Gibe her a bird hugs fer me please :)

I was happy to hear that it wasn't any more serious Poeia. So scary when our little ones have a problem. It's not like they can tell us where it hurts.

Mostly they try to hide that it hurts at all. In the wild, flocks, packs & herds often have to abandon injured animals to protect the group.

As of Friday 2/7 @ 8:28 PM EST
Snow = Cabin Fever!! -- Round #17
Pick 4 number(s) from 1201 - 1600

1....JUST one set of pickins per round

Check the board for available numbers:
Link to Gotvapes Game Board!

Colored cells are taken.
Winning number(s) are chosen via Random.org at game end.

The Prize:
Black EVOD Kit and a bottle of FluxNectar




= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =


A 'liked' post does not mean you've got that number (or that you yourself are even liked). The first person to pick a number gets that number whether it's marked on the board or not. When we 'Like' your picks that means one of the five helpers are marking them on the board. If there are any mistakes/conflicts, we will reply to your post. So check back a while after you pick to see if we noted any problems.


Please do not edit your pick posts.

If someone already took your number, or an error was made, please wait for a helper to post the error. Please "Reply With Quote" to the helper's post with your new pick.



A helper will announce a new round of picks at random times, so check back often and keep track of what round you've already made picks in.

Rounds may last anywhere from 16 seconds to 36 hours based solely on our whim. There are no rules. Life is unfair. Good luck!

We call it a "reset" when we go into a new round. You still keep all of your previous picks. If you miss a round you do not get to back and make up picks. You can make 1 set of picks for the current round ONLY

The game ends when the sheet is filled. We then announce the winning pick.

Play to win! There will be no PIFing of number picks. The winner of any contest can PIF the prize if they choose to do so Here.

ALL Birthday Poopies will get additional picks on their ECF listed Birthday :w00t: (1 birthday per year please :D)

Theses aren't rules. They are guidance. And they may change at any time. Without prior notice. Maybe even without ensuing notice.
