You may remember the little juvie hummer I got in last summer who got into epoxy floor paint. Well he has come along just GREAT, his ulcers have healed, he has completely feathered in, he has completely replaced all his damaged feathers, and he has molted into his adult plumage. I am happy to report that he was released in perfect shape.

Photos showing his progress:

The first pic was taken 9/24/05, the second pic was taken 4/2/06, and the last pic was taken the day before his release on 5/6/06.

During his entire rehab period, he has been on a diet of mostly unsupplemented NekTar Plus with only occasional supplements of Nekton Tonic I and/or Nekton Bio (to promote feather growth). He also loved his daily baths. He was a real trooper throughout this whole process.

Godspeed, Mr. Icky!
