Having looked carefully at Sonny this morning with the river in Spate and the driech weather forecast, I decided to take him back home for intensive care. With his Swollen leg joint and wet wings unable to get him into the air, it was time to take him home. He put up token resistance but I was able to catch him and carry him back to the garden where he happily relaxed and started to preen his ruffled feathers.
After a nice meal of fresh worms and a bit of haddock laced with cod liver oil, he sat down and watched the pigeons and sparrows pick around the garden.
At 5pm I walked him into the ICU (garage) where he can dry off and get a good nights sleep.
I am hoping to keep him relaxed and well cared for with his regular medicines, until his foot joint returns to somewhere near normal . I cant prevent him flying back if he decides to, but hopefully the 5 star treatment and garden birds will provide enough company to keep him here a while.
