There's nothing easier to overlook than the obvious.  The important thing is that the situation has been corrected and Trixie is more cheerful again.  |

Rex is happy, too. He did not like having all that light and this evening he not only came out for the day early, he climbed into my hand and let me hold him for a while, which he has been increasingly reluctant to do. Trixie is still wobbly, but she remains alert and bright-eyed.

Hey, you figured it out, right? That's great! Don't feel dumb about it. Good stuff! Glad Trixie is feeling better.

Yeah, the others are right - it's pointless blaming yourself. I tend to agree with your supposition, though, that she could be an old bird (the wobbling is a huge indicator and, as you said in another thread, Trixie doesn't have enough feathers on her head to see if the outline of her eyes is smooth as a young bird's looks). Canaries love sunbathing, so this may make her feel more energetic! |

What few feathers she does have on her head stick out every which way. The wobbling looks so much like old-age trembling in a human that I'm pretty convinced that's what it is. Couple that with the crippled feet from spending all that time on a skinny perch in the store, and her balance is anything but good.
