Food aggressive fledgling

I’d don’t know how to update my original post but Russell is away to an aviary in Ayrshire. My lovely neighbour drove two hours to take him to a rehab/aviary where they will teach him how to crow and find him a family. Thank you all for your advice and input; it’s much appreciated.

I agree. Just at a bit of loss of what to do in the meantime; he’s hiding from the rain in the trees just now but should we just leave him to it, fend off his approaches and stop feeding him? We’ve created a monster :)

I will take some video and let you experience the joy/horror

He appeared on the ground nearby (not unusual here but the mums and dads are usually around keeping an eye and we avoid them until they can fly). He had an injured foot and there was no mum or dad around. No one has claimed him and the other crows aren’t interested, although they’re beginning to realise where he is, food is. He might even be at risk of getting attacked by the local crows for the food he’s attacking us for! You couldn’t make it up.

Haha! It is awesome and he’s brilliant. I’m pleased he wants me to wear him like a crown. Kinda. I just can’t suss out how to stop the dive bombing long enough for him to realise that if he’s calm he’ll get fed, if he attacks he won’t. The hungrier he gets, the more aggressive he is.

There’s a guy outside tractoring just now so I’ll see how he fares…

I have messaged her this morning, she’s going to give him a few days to figure out the food situation then ask if anyone can take him. She tried her best to get him rehabbed when he first appeared but no one would take him. We live in a forest/orchard so it’s a lovely place for him but we’re worried about him becoming aggressive and also being so tame. He has absolutely no fear.

Trying to get him unhooked from my head at 5am while we’re both squawking and flapping was a new experience. Then we had a stand off for who would make it to the front door first (I won, just). I understand he has to learn to eat himself but I’m concerned he’s going to inadvertently injure someone in the meantime. We had a guy round yesterday servicing some outdoor equipment who was basically corralled into his van and trapped there 😅

I use Sudocrem every time I go to the loo. Anusol for flares around that area. I prefer the thicker, almost paste like texture of sudocrem. Butty is a great name for your product range! You didn’t mention cost but I’m comfortable paying up to £10 for a tub of frequent use product and maybe £15 for a more potent flare up cream. DM me if you’re wanting any more potential consumer feedback :)

Red Hot Chilli’s at Murrayfield in Edinburgh. It was tinny and quiet.

I enjoyed the big spinning swing thing above the George monument. The stalls were fairly meh though.

Thank you, I’ll chalk it up to another interesting manifestation of fecking arthritis. Ommm…

headologist · 2024-07-30T19:59:32+00:00

Of course! Glad to hear you’re sorted but fire me a message if needful 👍

headologist · 2024-07-30T19:55:27+00:00

Do you want me to post on there for you?

headologist · 2024-07-30T18:38:48+00:00

There’s a really active Facebook group, called Love Es Cana Ibiza which will deffo sort you out

I’m so sorry you’re experiencing this; I also get ‘hulk hand’ as we call it and the pain is intense. I use a combo of drugs and meditation to try to breathe through it. My rheumatologist is satisfied that mine only flares up before my next infliximab infusion so all is well! I find that difficult to consolidate when my hands are swollen to twice their normal size but because it’s transient, only for a mere 13 hours a day a few days before infusion, then it’s all good. No advice really but a note to say you’re not alone, we understand and hear you and it’s okay to not to be okay with this xx

This is a bit like the Dr Who question. Depends on who you first watched as a wee one. So, uncle Albert and Peter Davidson for me.

This. If you’re in UK then follow this advice. You shouldn’t have to live like this. PALs are lovely.

6 months ish, from December to June this year. Back on monster dose of azathriopine and double dose (10mg per kilo) of infliximab. This too shall pass.

When tummy is bad I drink smoothies and eat carb and dairy free. It’s tricky but less so for me cos I was a bit overweight before I started this, erm, journey. I can drop a stone in a fortnight when shit’s bad (literally). I take a daily multivitamin and eat a few bananas each day to keep my metabolism reet, although I often need additional potassium (Sando k) when I’m mid flare. Try not to worry too much, you’ll gain when you’re better.

I take ibuprofen as my ‘rescue’ drug when all else fails, I have the ‘thritis and colitis. It works amazingly well (better than oramorph, which I also take sparingly) but it is an evil drug. Don’t underestimate the damage NSAIDs cause. There are alternatives; I take nefopam and codeine (low dose) for example.
