It ate good early in the morning and a couple of mealies too. I got ahold of the rescue place and spoke with them about it. He referred me to someone in FW, and when I called, I was glad to hear they were only 5 minutes away from me. I took her over there and he put him in a large fly cage to see if there was wing problems. She would fly a few feet, but then hit something and slide down or fall. (I think the first rescue guy hit it on the head saying she may have been malnourished or dehydrated and weak) So since she couldn't recovery easily from a fall or balance problem, he put her in a cage by herself. Hopefully they will let her out to test her wings often.
We enjoyed watching her while she was here. It was great to see her eating and drinking and bathing every five minutes too! I know she will recover, so happy ending!!
