Quick bird update... That's about it.

pacificpikachuI had a dream last night that I flew out to Ohio to go to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hitchi's birthday party. I don't remember much other than the scene of me being in a car with presents in a parking lot at the airport.
Indeed, the crow did die last night. I expected so much, so it's not really a big deal. I almost had the health department come out and take the body so they could test him for West Nile (which I'm 99.9% sure he didn't have--but maybe they would tell me what he did have), but they wouldn't be able to pick him up until Wednesday and, despite the fact that I'm not squeamish, keeping a dead, diseased bird in my fridge is not exactly an appealing idea. Non-diseased dead birds are one thing, but when you put disease into the equation, it seems rather unpleasant.
Then I got another crow in. This one is a fledgling, and it's...behaving a bit strangely, which makes me wonder if perhaps it's diseased, too. It seems rather off-balance, snappy, and it's very very thin, but it won't eat. I keep sticking kibble in its mouth, and it keeps spitting it up, no matter how far back in its throat I put the kibble. Maybe it'll get hungrier tonight and be easier to feed in the morning. Otherwise I have no idea how I'll get food down this thing. It's quarantined from everything else right now in case it is diseased, so we'll see how it does. I hope it does all right! I've had so much disease in the last few months, I'm getting really sick of it. :/
I also got another baby quail! :D I've been hoping for one for a while. It's younger than the one I have, but considering the fact that this little guy fell in a pool, he's doing pretty well. Seriously, I think baby quail are pretty much the cutest things ever. And it's especially cute to have two little quail with big, friendly chick. XD ZOMG so cuuuute.
We're trying to arrange picking Zoe up on Sunday currently.
Maybe I'll go watch a little anime now.
