1990 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus RAVI HNHR 2 March So... disappointment city. They can pull out their implants. They pick at the stitches, as the skin dries r scabs it can be picked off, leaving the tube exposed. When implants are inserted O- the birds can grab an end and pull the tube out - it seems a bit safer to do it the original way O-, though I guess Ptery managed to get his out (and the Plge bird maybe as well). Time for a new approach. Perhaps at the base of the neck on the back. (Moistened w Ovaje) 3 Mar 1400 Bled 1787, still 2 implants. 55.5, 52.5, 56, 55.5, 52, 53, 53, 53 4 Mar 1435 Oops!
