Idemili making good progress!

18 Jul 2012

Idemili is doing much better now, aided by a change of diet to a larger size of mealworm - between yesterday afternoon (17 July) and the previous day, she increased her weight from 73g to 82g. She is already much livelier according to Lucy Kells and the Wildlife Aid staff, who are doing a fantastic job of looking after her. Even if she continues to make good progress, she won’t be in a state to attempt a crossing of the Sahara any time soon because she would first need to grow the secondaries and tail feathers that she lost when she was attacked by birds.
