Sorry if this has been answered, tumblr search is being tumblr search, but what’s been going on with Mia? I see mentions of mobility issues, is this a temporary injury or a chronic thing? So glad she has such an attentive caretaker to help her with her difficulties!

It’s a combo of age and old injury. From the get-go Mia has had problems, she has birth defects in her legs and beak and she had liver disease when I first got her, sometime down the road she injured her wing (still have no idea how that happened, vet thinking a tendon was harmed which there isn’t a solution for) which didn’t change much for her for a long time but now she’s almost 10 years old so it’s starting to impact her more.

So it’s just a matter of her getting old and her body not being able to function as well with her limitations anymore. We were forewarned that she’d likely end up developing arthritis due to her legs - at the moment her climbing is largely normal she just tires more quickly. Her wing injury would start to impact flight more as she ages - which it now is, she largely just glides or does really short upward flights now. And from there just about anything else could start up since she already has visible external birth defects it’s very possible that there could be internal defects that we just aren’t aware of. And since she had her fight with liver disease there will be some permanent damage that will make things hard for her as she gets older.

She’s otherwise a very happy and active bean, just having the years catch up to her now. Spending a bit more time cuddling and sunbathing than she does committing crimes

What program do you use to sketch?

I always use Photoshop v20 for my art! 

But if you are asking about the last sketch in particular, I made it using Loish’s oil pastel brush from this set, so that’s why it looks a bit different from what I usually draw.

Hope that helped anon

Why is Mia's beak iffy? How does one know if they need more calcium for their beak?

Mia’s beak is offset, she has a couple birth defects and one of them is that her lower jaw is slightly too far to the left. You would probably never notice it under normal circumstances but it is there

This alone makes her beak “iffy”, I have to pay very close attention to her beak health because of the way that it sits. She can be prone to lopsided chewing and unaligned pressure that can cause parts of her beak to wear down faster than other parts, it can also cause parts of her beak to simply snap under the pressure due to the wonky way the beak sits when it closes.

Most recently she was having a combo problem where she was chewing exclusively to one side which caused one part of the beak to wear down more than the other as well as her looking like she’s lacking some calcium which causes it to wear down faster than usual. The result was two things:

a very long right side tominal tooth

And an overgrown left side of her lower beak

Typically this will resolve with chewing (usually holding something so she has to chew on the other side and even things out) but it got pretty bad this time so I did have to file it down.

How I know she needs more calcium is by the appearance of the beak itself. If she’s getting good amounts of calcium the beak will be relatively smooth and shiny with some lines that show new beak layers shedding.

If she needs more calcium the beak appears a bit more pale, “dry” looking, and very flakey, almost like beak dandruff. The very edge of the beak can sometimes be a good judge as well. The top healthy image is very rounded and smooth, the lower unhealthy one is more jagged and thin.

Which tells me instead of shaving down slowly the beak is actually chipping off. So she either needs her UV bulb replaced or she needs more calcium in her diet.
