Two days later he came back to the door with his balloon neck again filled with air from the rupture !
I thought there was no way he would walk in the door again after the first experience, but I was astonished to see him come in the doorway for the second time! Since then I have extracted the air twice a day and given him a course of antibiotics as well. Initially I was taking out a dozen syringes full of air twice a day, after a week I am now only getting 1 syringe full once a day.
This rupture must have been severe and I think he has been hit by a vehicle on the left side, half his tail feathers are missing, and he has a bare patch on the left underside as well.
I am fairly certain he is almost healed and hopefully can let him rejoin his flock soon, I am lucky I got a second chance to solve the problem .
Meanwhile he is confined to the Aviary and looking much better, as the pics show.
