Wednesday Morning . June 22

Cassiel is the one who slept late today. I went out to feed him at about 6:30 and he was still sleeping. He sleeps bothe attached low to the coco palm trunk (vertically) and sometimes onthe floor with his head turned and rested on his back.

He actually didnt wake until about 7:30 - after it had been light for maybe 21/2 hours. Good sleeper, good eater.

Food

The tortilla masa he like just fine. Some have suggested he needs some protein too. In the wild they eat insects, works, fruit, nuts.....I looked for Gerber in town, nothing with meat anywhere, Carol is sending me some from Tepic. She also suggested just a little hamburger. Better idea than canned cat or dog food - maybe too strong? I dont like the idea of feeding him chicken. Feed the bird bird? No.

Joy from Massachusets suggests:

"....love the fallen angel for it's name..you have a huge , or had a huge trail of ants active across the road leading to your place.. very active a night..i know the woodpeckers up here go after our ants with delight... that might be an easy source of food for you to offer...maybe take him out to the source...before he can fly....or somehow get the ants to march into a to-go container.. and bring them home...[ i can see your to-do list now... bleach, toilet paper... oh yeah.. ants..]
anyway.. thanks so much for sharing... makes my day!!!!

Hmmm, this could get complcated.
Any suggestions, please post here.
