While we have 48 chicks in hospital we also have some adults and juveniles currently enjoying our hospitality. When we decided to uplift all the remaining chicks from the colonies we already had collected Morgan's chicks because he was really sick. He was acting weird e.g. lethargic, huddling in a corner, sleeping all the time etc, and there was no way that this exhausted father could contribute to raising his chicks. And we were not going to burden his mate with them so Morgan and his chicks all came into rehab. Morgan has since rallied somewhat with plenty of rest, salmon and medication and hopefully he can be returned back to his mate soon (who is probably wondering what happened to her family).
