I am sorry about the blackbird. The reason I stick to ferals, woodies and doves is that they are much hardier than the more delicate songbirds, and can recover from the most dreadful injuries. I really admire people who can work with songbirds, there must be a lot of heartache involved.

I am glad the baby is doing well and that his companion is teaching him to be afraid!

I'm rather surprised about the Blackbird to be honest, it was so lively and never showed any signs of discomfort. They were sure he was going to heal ok when he arrived.

Unfortunately the Buzzard had to be PTS tonight aswell. I did hope they could do something for it. Amazingly enough a vet had sent it in to the 'sanctuary' saying it just needed to be built up a bit, they had done everything they could for it.

I found it lying flat, covered with flies and unable to move, so I asked them to let me take it somewhere where it could be looked at again.
It had possibly been hit by a car and had compound fractures to his legs as it turned out and was in a very bad way.
Thank goodness it isn't suffering any more. The rescue centre were flabberghasted a vet couldn't have seen these breaks.

A sad outcome, but I feel relieved for it.

Poor buzzard...

You do a wonderful job, Janet, rescuing birds from the sanctuary.
