I spoke with Giselle and so far it&#8217;s all good news. The bird is comfortable and eating well. In fact, the bird has begun eating on it&#8217;s own out of a bowl. Next step is to introduce fruit on the vine to allow the bird to practice eating more like in the wild. The bird is still begging for food, opening wide whenever food is being given, and it won&#8217;t be until this stops that the bird will be released. Also, Giselle never releases a single Cedar Waxwing. They are a social bird and she has found that they do much better with other CEWAs. Fortunately, there is another CEWA at the center, so if all goes well they will be released together. The two birds are not together yet as &#8220;my&#8221; fledgling still needs to have a stool sample tested for parasites. So far, so good. I&#8217;ve got my fingers crossed, I&#8217;m knocking wood, etcetera&#8230; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1013\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-1013x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10278\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-1013x1024.jpg 1013w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-297x300.jpg 297w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-768x776.jpg 768w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-1520x1536.jpg 1520w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-2026x2048.jpg 2026w, https:\/\/orangebirding.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/081620-CEWAb-1200x1213.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 1362px) 62vw, 840px\" \/><figcaption>~What a little sweetie.
