She has had a whole whack of surgeries to clear out infection and at the moment that seems to perhaps done the trick. Now we have to get the wounds to heal - which sounds easy but as anyone who has had wounds (not just cuts and scrapes), the skin needs to heal across the wound not just heal and that takes time. At the moment she is doing well and PWRC is working on getting the wounds to close up. Once that happens, we are ready for flight rehab and then we can start to see the end at the end of her tunnel.
We will be buying more quail for before the end of the year, so if folks want to collect pennies or loonies in a jar I'll be putting out a request for donations end of the month/into November. We are trying a new thank you gift for donors this year - but more on that this weekend - something to look forward to ;) ;D

Thank you for the reply, TPC. I do realize that Bumblefoot is extremely difficult to eradicate completely. I am sorry that Beatrix has had to have numerous surgeries for this. That must be very hard on her. I hope she will heal completely this time around.
Dagny:
I'm just curious. I've seen other peregrine org's also feed quail to their injured birds. What makes quail such a good meal source?
???

Your timing is excellent - we are just about to put in our third order of quail - at about $2.50 per bird including taxes & shipping, they are expensive meals. Our next order is for 200 quail, so a bit over $500 for the shipment. If you would like to donate, you can do so here - How to Help Beatrix . I'll be updating the page and donations tally this weekend!
