------------- PHYSICAL EXAM FINDINGS ----------------
Mentation: BAR
Dehydration (%): 3
Neurologic: NSF
Head/mouth/beak: NSF
Ears: NSF
Eyes: NSF - very visual in transport box and in hand
Wings: NSF
Legs: NSF
Feet: NSF
Body: NSF
Feather condition: IB
Ectoparasites: None
Radiographic findings: Ventrodorsal view shows asymmetrical R hip - likely an older fx
Initial treatment: None. Set up renest.

A: Seemingly healthy baby. Likely made it inside through finders' window by fluttering down from a higher elevation and became trapped inside. Radiograph shows asymmetrical R hip but bird does not seem to favor the R leg in any notable way. Angular bone palpable on R dorsal hip but palpates stable and bird ambulates just fine. Good candidate for renest if we can find parents.

P: SF in AM, HF in PM if DNE with camo. Contact finders to work on renest.
