1.Quick picture
2. Short description of bird in crisis
3. Your details.
This crow was found, by a lovely lady, that care the world about animals. She will intake almost anything, because she believes her heart is big enough to save them.
This is a beautiful thing, however wild bird rehab is illegal for the public without a license or permit.
Would you keep a child with a broken arm in a toilet with a plate of food, and glass of milk? Two days? While googling what else to feed him?
Birds are exactly the same as cats, dogs, and humans when it comes to injuries:
1. They all have pain
2. They all need medical care
The 5 freedoms include free from pain, so keeping an injured wild bird (with good intentions) with a broken wing, is infact: animal torture/abuse.
Many people have kept birds with broken wings and legs as pets, telling stories how the birds have healed all by themselves. Birds have this unique God given build in strength NOT TO SHOW PAIN!
Not showing pain is a survival mechanism.
Self healed wings will normally mean, they can NEVER FLY AGAIN!!
With this post, I beg people, spread the word, get Help the first moment you find an injured bird, dont DO IT YOURSELF first.
Yesterday we did it again, we bend over backwards, after 6pm, ordered an uber, followed the phone to make sure collection and drop off worked out smoothly.
The lady that found the Crow has very limited funds, and Tweet Tweet has proven again, we will always try and help.
We understand that most people believe they can "wing it", feed and treat an injured bird. But trust me, feeding= full tummy, what about the injury? Left unattented will mean
1.you are not equiped to help this patient
2.you didnt know how, limited knowledge and resources
This 2 is alone is evidence that you should not be keeping an injured bird locked in a cage to self heal.
I cant emphasis it enough, when you see a post of a bird in crisis, urgently contact us or
