Bogart feeling more like 'pretty bird' after hawk attack
By ANNE GEGGIS

ORMOND BEACH -- He's off the feeding tube. Hours of therapy -- and working out in his own rehabilitation center -- have allowed him to stand up somewhat straight. And he's started talking again.

This is good, I remember the story a few months ago. Good to know he is getting better.

wow, thats amazing. One lucky bird. Reinforces why I need to to put the mesh grid back up over the bamboo screen.

Poor Bogart! He has a great mom!

I'm so glad he's doing okay! I remember when this happened- such a horrible story!

Wow, that's amazing! A broken neck and he's able to climb his cage now. What an amazing team his vet(s) and mom are at being able to nurse him back to health. Thanks for sharing!

All I can say is "WOW" I can't believe he is still alive much less doing so much better... Should be a testimony to the will to live!
