Concerned about 22227. Flies high perch to high perch then returns to the lower one
and refuses. I dont think this is due to pain.

He does not seem bothered by my presence and shows no fear when I approach him from
the low perch. Afraid this bird may be habituated.

BAR. Low weight but keel is a 3, must be a small male. Tail is completely trashed. Dirty and feathers are bent or broken. Anesthesized with iso via mask at 3% for rad, reveals what looks like to me a healed minor metacarpal fx and fibula fx all on the right side. Will have des review tomorrow.

0.08 cc meloxicam IM, 0.18 cc torb IM, 0.50 terbinafine PO, 30 cc LRS SQ

Placed 60 g ck/m in cage and bird ate immediately.

Considering the feather damage, healed fx, and behavior it appears this bird was maybe in captivity for a short time but no way to know for sure.
