Bird Physiotherapy

Having successfully reset Steven the seagulls wing, the challenge now was how to get him to use it enough to get him flying . If it were human it would be getting physiotherapy to get the broken limb working again. Short of catching and stressing him several times a day to stretch his wing, the only answer is to get him to do it himself somehow. He is desperate to fly in any case, so I decided to give him some encouragement by way of things to play with ! Today I could already see an improvement in the injured wing. (see vid below ) He is incredibly curious and will play with almost anything I give him , he even pulled the draught excluder from the front door !
