BARP. Flew down to chick and brought it up to perch when dropped. I agree with previous entries that this bird's flight pattern is odd, but quality of flight is good. I'd be interested to see how this bird reacts to live prey. Will drop a live mouse or two tomorrow.

Flies very well. Slight head tilt still visible, but does not seem to affect flight or coordination. Lands very solidly, no swerving in flight, no hesitation. Does dip down in flight, but I am not sure if that is related to the head tilt or just a habit from being in the enclosure.
Ok to prepare for release. Dr Gardner

BAR and perched. Watched the bird fly a few lengths before handling. She flutters but makes it all the way perch to perch. Opted to move to F6. She flew well from the ground to the high perch, extending both wings fully for typical flight. She flew back down to get food and then back up to the perch.

BAR. Flies back and forth well but quite slowly, which is odd. Flaps wings evenly, overall lands well without wobbling much but the slow flight is strange. Sometimes dips down oddly. Once swerved to the right in flight but not repeatable. Quite alert but not very fearful. Grabs food in front of staff and takes it to the high perch. Head tilt very mild, possibly negligible.

P: Try in a flight cage Tuesday. If doesn't do well there we can downgrade. Would be nice to see what she can do in a big mew. Dr Gardner

BAR and very feisty. Flew back and forth several times with ease. A couple of the landings were a little wobbly, especially at first, but it seemed that as time went on she adjusted. The head tilt is visible, but barely at this point. I didn't bring my scope out so didn't look at eye - will do so next week.
After weighing she jumped right on one of the chicks and flew with it to a perch, then flared defensively at us all the while holding the chick.
P: Start to exercise. Would like to see her moved somewhere bigger. Recheck in 1 week. Dr Gardner

Head tilt seems a bit less apparent today, about 15-20 degrees. Bird is very alert and feisty. Flies readily but a bit uncontrolled, hovers oddly in the air and seems uncoordinated when landing, veers to the side at times.
Eye injury stable.
I think it best to move bird to a bigger habitat, and continue one more week of Meloxicam.
Remains to be seen whether head tilt will resolve and bird will be releasable.
Moved to R3 - not ideal, but longer than current habitat.

Radiograph: Intake

Quiet, body facing forward, head turned towards the back. Bird reacted to me prodding him and was feisty in hand. Anesthetized under 3% iso for intake rads. Recovery was slow. NSF on rads. Placed back in kennel. NOLO.

Veterinary Exam, Radiography, Eye Recheck:

Patient placed under brief general anesthesia for radiography and veterinary exam.

Whole body radiography taken and images were WNL.

Eye Exam:
Anisicoria present with right pupil size smaller than left pupil size. PLR present and intact.
Posterior chamber appears normal, retina and pectin appear normal.

Assessment:
The anisicoria and the CNS symptoms are most likely related to probable head trauma. Patient is visual and
will hopefully improve over time with supportive care and meloxicam therapy.

Plan:
Continue meloxicam.
Monitor food intake.

Finder said bird was unable to fly. RRT reported that it was in a lake. When approached, flew about 10 ft in the air, then fell. It tried to flee again and landed in water. It was picked up after coming out of the water on its own.

Exam Notes
BAR, standing in box. Wet due to falling in lake. Very vocal and strong, would thrash sometimes. Nothing notable found other than some old bruising, possible old road rash, along femur, just above the right knee, with some accompanying feather loss.
