Both are repsonding well and very happy. They said many birds survive to some extreme with defects and not to worry however he will develop slower.
They are now both in my stable safe warm and secure, I feel Ive done them proud as did the sanctuary.
Spug followed me around the stable and when I sat down he fluttered onto my shoulder, sang in my ear and when offered food he nested into my neck.
You cant buy that! Ive fallen in love and they will survive coz I'll make sure they do.

I dont see how you can make sure a wild animal will survive? How will you do that, their wild ... should not have human contact, and if a wild animal can no survive in the wild with out un natural help from a human then it should be in some sort of sanctuary!..

They were all flying by now but still not eating for themselves. This is when we took them to a wildlife centre to be released. It was such hard work and I really didn't want let them go round here for the cats to get them like they did with the parents
Luz the sanctuary will have release cages where your birds will be put with other birds until they learn how to feed themselves then they will let them go into a safe area where they will have the best chance. They will be with other orphaned chicks and they will know when the time is right to let them go, it would be awful if they were released too early after all your efforts and they didn't make it.
You wouldn't be letting them down Luz you'd be doing the right thing by letting the experts take over

I urge you not to let the one eyed one go into the wild.
