Hey Everyone,
Got home late this evening after a nice visit with Felix, and a stop off at Walnutz to get a few items and came home to what looked like a crime scene in the Deuce Coop.
I received a phone call a few mins before I got home from tsamis, informing me that Luke and Big Red had gotten access at each other, the mistake was I didn't properly latch the gate to Big red's pen before leaving the house today I feel horrible. I normally do my rounds and make sure everyone is safe.
It was dark and my flashlight only could show so much, but from what I had seen I was sure that one of them didn't make it.....
By the looks of things Luke is fine, roughed up and covered in blood, but from the looks of things not his blood... Maybe a bit... he really took it to Big Red. He is the one on watch, his head is swollen and he is missing feathers and has some lesions on the back of his neck, it literally looks as if Luke drug him through the mud as he is soaked and feathers full of grit and shavings.
I had the two separated for a reason as they used to live together but as Luke grew Big Red would beat on Luke....
I feel bad, and am doing my best to make sure A) both birds are treated for their injuries and B) this doesn't happen again.
Luke has become rather protective of his flock, he shows no aggression towards us humans but is very Evil towards other Roos' this is the first encounter he has had with another Roo since he was a few months old in the pen with Big Red, after Vader his father outcasted him, by kicking his butt.....
Anywho I just needed to get this off my chest, kinda bugged me and felt I needed to Share
Any who
