We took in this beautiful herring gull yesterday, who was originally handed in to the PDSA after being rescued from getting kicked around by a bunch of kids! They’ve been seen by a vet, and believed to have a small coracoid fracture as well as obviously very sore. They’ve been put on pain meds and cage rest, but this morning was active enough for some out-of-crate time to stretch their legs. They then found the bath I was *originally* going to take out to the aviary for the pigeons 🥰
This collared dove came in around 2 weeks ago with a respiratory infection. After a round of antibiotics and lots of TLC she has been released by the finder back in garden she was originally found 😄
Release day for another feral pigeon!
My partner found this one with a broken wing on her way to work, huddled in an alley about a month ago. After some good strapping, healing, and exercise, she's flying around again in the area she was found near the University of Sheffield - and was promptly joined by a very flirty male after this video was taken 😂
Grumpy is finally released and eagerly accepted by the other resident feral pigeons - with one boy taking an immediate fancy to her!
She pottered about with her new friends for a while before they flew off together into the sunset. Good luck Grumpy ❤️
Mr Pidge has been with me for over a month and a half since coming in with a broken wing, broken ankle, infected wound in his leg, and losing all his tail feathers (probably after a car accident). He's been an absolute delight to care for and yesterday was his short but sweet release at Wakefield Cathedral after making a full recovery 🥰
Tassle, the young woodpigeon I hand-reared, copies everything I do - including playing minecraft 😂
This young feral pigeon came to us with a broken wing, after lots of TLC they're all healed back up now and today was their (slightly clumsy) release!
