Todays update from CROW:

Lil Guy's condition has been upgraded to fair.

He is now routinely standing and using the right injured leg, but still won’t perch and spends a lot of time lying down.

He is bright and alert and eating a diet of semi-soft fish fillets and meat. The eaglet requires assistance during feedings but has been slowly eating on its own.

Blood work abnormalities have resolved and are back to normal.

-----------------

The not wanting to perch yet is understandable to me. He had and internal fixation of his broken bone, plus has external hardware on the leg to hold everything in place. The thought of perching, to me, sounds like major "ouchie" time.

The "spends a lot of time laying down" made me chuckle. With the exception of learning to fight for meals, he was always a bit of a slug. Between the malnutrition and being the younger sibling, he was not a great initiator. He was slow to perch and to fledge. And, he loved his down time in the nest bed.

Glad the dangerously low protein has resolved.

This is one tough lil bugger.
