POST 11 >> ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHALLENGES

She started a treatment of antibiotics but she stopped eating, and the stress caused by being locked up made her go into a state of pulling out her feathers, she became malnourished and weighed 60g (her normal weight is 100g) Then her wing didn't get better and...
