Freak accident

March 17, 2012 in my life, photo

My sweet 14-year-old boy had a freak beak accident about two weeks ago.

I don’t even know what really happened, but the end result is that he is missing the lower third of his beak.

I’m hand feeding my hand fed baby again until his beak toughens up enough (and possibly grows back some) to eat more regularly.

So far he can eat soft, smaller seeds again. I feed him a couple of times a day some regular baby food per the vet’s advice.
