Wanted to post some good news

The goose with the twisted pose I posted a few weeks ago has improved

I could not add new photos to my post so I made this new one

Thank you for all the tips

I gave it vitamins , vitamin e capsules, selenium , brewers yeast for the past few weeks . I also have been feeding it waterfowl pellets

It had a few very tough days - once a flock of wild turkeys surrounded it in a circle - goose in center - one turkey started attacking - I ran outside and chased the turkeys away . It was very weak - but it did fly " home " to wherever it goes that night . Did not return the next day - I was scared - but it did the following day ( 2 weeks ago )

Today it showed up alone - then another flew in and landed next to it . It kind of runs from the other bird - I'm unsure if it's a potential mate or family member ? This bird is bullied by others / so keeps its distance

It was holding its head much straighter for much longer periods ! I noticed the tremble in its neck is not as apparent

It's much better and much stronger

I'm hoping for a full recovery soon

Babies have gotten significantly bigger, but we lost one of them. They’re just starting to roam outside the nest, and they’re noisy now! Lots of little screeches. The squirrels have gotten more wary because I watch from the front porch, and mom and dad are protective. I got to see them stretch their little wings. They’re absolutely adorable.

I have a dove that is on my porch and seems ill or something. She is able to fly away when I approach although she waits until I get closer to fly away. When male doves try to mate w her she can’t fight them away and one was just standing on her. She’s taken to hiding under my table out there and even staying overnight. What’s happening?

I posted 12 days ago but everyone said it looked like a normal beak. Now it looks a lot worse. Is this a problem?

We’ve had this birdhouse hanging on our porch for years but it’s always been empty, I figured because our dog is very loud and likes to bark at every car door being shut. Over the last few days however, I’ve noticed these guys seemingly moving in. Any idea what they are? I’m in northeast Ohio if that helps.
