I just love you! And crows are birds of prey....they kill snakes which make them one of my favorite birds. He's so lucky you found him just in the nick of time. Sounds like he'll make a full recovery but it does take a long time for wing feathers to grow back in. I'm sure you'll have him tamed by then! Crows are very very smart. I'm betting he never leaves!
Very kind of you to take care of him. Hope he will be able to fly away home soon. Did the rehab people think he will be able to survive in the wild after being taken care of by humans?
YOU are a good girl. I am surprised at the cat food diet but when I think about it I see the sense in it. Hope you do well until he can go off on his own.
apparently my Father in law had a pet crow when he was a boy - he had trained it to talk and everything. They are very smart birds. :) Hopefully, he heals quickly and is ready to go back to being in the wild. Good on you for taking care of him.
Found this young crow in my backyard yesterday morning. He was cornered by a stray cat that hangs out in my yard and he obviously couldn`t fly. I caught him, put him in a kennel, and called around. The SPCA would only put him down, couldn`t find a vet to look at him and the bird rehabilitation centre only takes birds of prey. I finally convinced the rehabilitation centre to at least look him over so I know what I am dealing with. She agreed if I went to them which is over 30 minutes south of me so I went this morning. These are the photos I took while she checked him out. He has broken feathers in both wings but no broken bones. He holds one wing at an odd angle which she thinks it is likely a sprain and will heal in a few days to a couple weeks. Until then he is residing in my house. She said to feed him cat food, both wet and dry. Finnegan is curious about him but Charlie is scared lol.
