Update: Some more prospects have come through, and we also have a definite foster willing to pick up at the last minute in case the others don't show. (Thanks Wolfy999!)

Yay! Gee, but it's tough to be a bird.

OUTCOME:

Well, the final outcome was good and bad.

The good - He found a wonderful couple of folks from MouseInfo who showed up and followed through to bring him home. They went out of their way too, and it would have been the perfect match. They truly rock for finding the place in their hearts and home.

The bad - Upon final examination before leaving the vet's office, it was discovered that he was more sick than initially realized. It turns out that he was also inflicted with another serious condition. The vet was willing to perform surgery for free, but the outcome would not be very good. The bird would have quite a long and painful recovery, and the chances for a full recovery were very slim. So, the vet and new owners decided to make the best decision for him.

Everyone worked hard to save him, and for that, I wholeheartedly thank you. And, I'm sure he does too. He was loved and found a new home, even if he never made it there. He left happy and loved, and that is what's important.

Thanks again everyone. I wish we could have had a happy ending on this.

I'd give my birdies a hug, but they probably wouldn't like that. Extra millet treats for them today.

I'm sorry it didn't work out, but it was certainly not for lack of trying. Well, at least we know of a bunny and some cute little doggies that found good homes here!

Everyone did the best to save him, kudos to all of you for working so hard for him.
