For the last year or so one of my sweetie-wife’s lovebirds has been acting strangely. He will tilt his head back until it’s laying flat along his spine. Lately his balance has gotten bad and he become quite unsteady. Today my sweetie-wife learned that this condition is called’stargazing’ and where we had assumed it was because the bird was aged it could be from other factors.

Tomorrow she is taking the bird to an avian vet and maybe, if the stars align just right, we make the little fellow well again.
