He is beautiful and looks like he knows he is safe.
That's one lucky bird.

He's bright and alert this morning. We have a vet appointment at 11.

I'd like to rig him up a towel sling so he can poop cleanly. I did a quick search but couldn't find the thread that showed a picture. Anybody remember that one to direct me?

Phil was gracious enough to post a good show-and-tell in Licha's thread about how Pirate became... Pirate! Actually, it's probably better to start here and then continue through the thread further for more pictures and explanation:

Thanks for the link, Pidgey! The vet was impressed by the sling.

The examining veterinarian said the bird has a broken upper leg and broken wing. They will gavage some food into him today with surgery set for tomorrow. If the leg break is near the joint, things become more complicated.

.......... and a broken wing as well?!?!?
I never would have guessed it was extending and flapping both wings when I picked it up.
Poor little bird, it must have taken a hard hit.


I never saw what happened, I just turned around and there it was sitting in the middle of the sidewalk, belly down on the sidewalk, wings extended, trembling a lot and looking around. Bobbing it's head like it was in a panic.

When I felt it's leg, it seemed to me that it was broken right next to the joint. I couldn't feel any bone extending from the knee at all. Just the little ball of a joint, then the break, then the bone.

Which bone? Which joint?

I'm pretty sure that's what happened to X-er. He was in bad shape when I found him. He can't fly but he can walk just fine.
