HB observed behavior. Pt had better balance than last Wednesday. Pt flew from high perch, grabbed at wall, and flew back to high perch several times. Perched well with good control half the times and perched fairly well while flapping wings half the time. Pt miss-stepped twice and was somewhat unbalanced while moving along perch.
Moving pt to a flight cage with more space to fly may speed recovery.

HB observed for neuro signs. Pt was wobbly and losing balance when walking and perching. When flying to another part of the perch, pt missed the perch with one foot and lost its balance before recovering. Pt's tail was all wet, which could affect its balance somewhat.

Observed perching and flying well. Slightly off-balance for a second while side stepping but otherwise balance is good. Could likely benefit by moving to a larger flight cage so it has more room to fly.
