The good news is that the Albatross we have at SANCCOB seems to be improving! The even better news is that today I got to tube feed him to help him gain back some strength! I was so freakin excited to get to feed this beautiful huge bird. My heart was pounding when I went to pick him up. But he proved to be fairly gentle, given that he is still in a weakened state. I tube fed him "formula" a pretty gross (to humans) but delicious (to birds) blended smoothie of fish and vitamins.
We also have another new penguin patient at the center. He somehow got himself covered in blue paint. So some of the volunteers tried their best to wash him off. He will go through a series of washes over the next few days in hopes of getting all the paint off. When he's all cleaned up he will be released back at Boulder's Beach.
