Taco Belle

Birdie on the move. Where's he going? Considering that his wings are clipped, probably to the floor, but he won't ever stop trying.

Taco had a check-up visit with his vet on Friday. Dr. O loves him as much as we do and we're so thankful for her and MedVet Hilliard for taking such good care of our lil guy.

Not just a pretty birdie, but a REALLY pretty birdie - and he apparently knows who "sweetheart" is (watch that head snap 🤣).

Taco has been a very talented human-owner. He's taught me so much! 😆

Taco Belle met his nephew today. He's not so sure about the wiggly tiny human yet. 😁

Nothing like working off calories while you eat. 🏃🏽‍♀️

30-second Taco Tuesday!

Boi is still slightly lethargic, puffy, and sleeps more than usual. We added this third med today (he takes them orally by syringe) and took all three well-ish (he put up a fight, which is good). And got chatty for a bit. Enjoy!

Somebirdie is getting discharged! (with a lot of medication, but still...)

More Taco update: Our little guy's illness suddenly returned over the weekend and he's been hospitalized again. We know that he can't live forever - he is a "senior citizen" after all. I wanted him to celebrate another birthday with us in the new digs. Now, my primary hope is that he's not in any pain. He's brought us SO much joy, it seems unfair that he'd ever have to suffer. Please send up some good thoughts for him. 🙏🏽

His reflection is EVERYTHING to him. 🤣

Taco Tales: We had our follow-up visit with the doctor today. We lost a tiny bit of weight but the doc thinks it's bad fluid and that the whole issue was a bacterial infection. Mr. Taco bit down on the cotton swab when he tried to take a "spit sample" and wouldn't let it go (that's what he gets for pi***ng off The Prince). Ultimately, aside from another week of me having to fight to get antibiotics in his mouth (pray for me, y'all), the boy is doing well. 🙏🏽

Taco update: A week ago, we had the scare of our lives...Taco became extraordinarily lethargic, very puffy, had very watery stools, and sounded congested when he tried to talk, which wasn't much at all. We took him to the emergency vet, who kept him for two days, did an x-ray and blood work, put him in an incubator with oxygen, and gave him antibiotics.

Doctor wasn't sure what happened but thought Taco may have eaten something bad (he's mostly contained, so I'm not sure how that could've possibly happened). He sent him home on antibiotics - which he hates, BTW - but the doctor cautioned about end-of-life measures and possibly humane euthanasia.

Every day this week, Taco fought the antibiotic administration more and more as his strength increased. He's been eating like a champ, singing, and even dancing a little. Today, I'm calling him the Miracle Birdie and it's looking like he may see our new home when it's ready in a few weeks.

Thanks to everyone who checked on us and our little guy! ❤️

It's been awhile. Sorry the 'rents have had a lot going on. It's just me catching a free ride to work on mom's shoulder. (Yes, I work weekends, too. Got mom's work ethic.) 🦜
