Blog Search and Pinning Broken Wings

I would like to do a search on this site for bloggers of interest to me. There is, of course, the Blogs of Note feature (Tach is standing on his cage door showing off with wings outspread. He does this squeak when he's annoyed. I haven't put in his seed yet - he's on pellets and does'nt really need seed anymore but I do give him access for 30 minutes or so in the afternoon). Anyway! The Blogs of Note feature is fine. As many subjects as there are people -- so many interests out there and people writing about them -- but not quite what I'm looking for. I am following a blog and that's fine but it seems that there would be some way to type in a few key words in a search box and come up with some likely blogs. People title their blog and put in labels. What for if not for the rest of us to do a search?
Maybe there is an obvious way to do a search and I'm so technologically illiterate I can't see it. That's a very real possibility. I need the bleedin' obvious set out in neon sometimes. What I'm really doing of course is procrastinating. Finished work yesterday (an hour late. Helped K while she pinned a galah's wing. I do the anaesthesia while she pins. It's a horrible thing to watch. Always thought orthopedics would be delicate and finicky and precise but it's not. Even with dainty little bird bones. First she has to pluck the feathers around the affected area. This is of course after the bird is gassed by placing its head in a punctured surgical glove which is wrapped around a small animal mask. When the area is plucked she isolates the break more precisely than when the bird was first assessed. Then a thin wire is entered into the hollow bone at the break and pushed in. The bone and wire has to be lined up with the bone on the other side of the break. It's not always pretty to watch as it can be a matter of controlled strength and force. The excess wire is cut and the skin is sutured over the access point. It writes out more neatly than the surgery. It's not through lack of skill. K has done hundreds of successful pinnings. I've released birds she's saved. It's a miracle. After a couple of weeks, usually 2, the pin is removed and the bird is rehabilitated. It needs to heal, build up muscle and fitness for flying.
While the bird is on the table it is given antibiotics and kept warm. The wing is taped in place around the body. The tail is also taped closed so that the affected wing is kept immobilized. It's amazing that these delicate wild creatures cope so well with capture, captivity, injury, illness (they often succumb to coccidiosis and must be treated) and the long rehabilitation afterwards. But what a buzz when they are released. Naturally not all succeed. Some die during surgery or worse, afterwards. If they live through the surgery and anaesthetic you kind of expect them to make it so it's very disheartening for them to die when they've already come so far.
Which is a long way from the original subject of blogging. Such is the way my brain works!
