I had two cardinal families and noticed one male was missing from the yard, I determined this was the second smaller Cardinal, most likely the brother of the other one which was still coming every day enjoying the shelled peanuts I threw for them. Every morning the brother and the females would come and visit, I left the window slightly open for awhile everyday and they communicated to each other.

The bottom of the cage was cleaned and fresh food and water were supplied daily, the room swept of all debris as well. His bandage was checked daily & changed as needed. Eventually he started taking baths in the am.

On Jan 25th, 2010 the bandage was removed.
