A trick to cathing a tiel, is dim the lights real low, so they cant see well, but you can still see them, then put a towel over them and gently pick them up with the towel around them. I have to catch Mr Tweets this way when he doesn't want to go to bed. I talk to them to let them know it's me. Rico Quaker didn't like it, but Tweets and Riley are okay with it.

I'm sorry about your leak dang that's terrible!

I know you'll worry about the boys for a long time, but I'm thinking they are okay. I hope you get an avian vet near you soon. I know the ones near me retired.
