After many hours lost in dreaming, and much browsing of the internet, I acquired my own bird. It was a hard drive to bring her home, on a trailer behind my famous blue van. Even though we were two, we were quite worn out after driving close on 3000 kms in slightly less than 48 hours - mostly on the good German and Austrian autobahn, luckily.
Now comes the hard work of getting all the paperwork filed, and also finding her a home which is not a trivial exercise over here, even with folding wings. With any luck she can take to the skies again by late May or early June.
