"Look at this!" said the old man bird with the busted foot.

"I can close my foot like this and it means I can hold a piece of bread in it".

That's a fair step forward, so to speak.

There is only one drawback - he can bring his foot up to chest height, but no further, so if he wants to eat the bread he has to curve himself forward.

It looks as awkward as it sounds, ha ha.

But, he's happy and he's enjoying life (Which does include bossing me around - "You! Food! Now!"), ha ha.

I'm glad he's got this far.

I didn't expect him to improve from how he was when he first arrived, I still don't expect a miracle recovery, but any step forward is a good thing.
