Having a flood last week was bad enough for August, but now the temperature has taken a dive, and feels positively Autumnal today. I am currently caring for two injured pigeons, one with a broken leg and the other with a broken wing.
The one with the broken leg is now able to use it with a limp,( Short clip below) this is better than when I found it hopping around on one leg. A course of antibiotics and anti- inflammatory medication, combined with splints seems to be doing the job.
Pardon the pun, but this is the most patient Pigeon I have ever cared for and has been very compliant when receiving treatment, ( as the photos show ). The rescued ducklings are doing fine with ample food supplies to provide warmth, their river cousins are not so lucky with last weeks flood cleaning out all the river weed.
This years Trust grain bill is likely to be higher than last. All donations will be gratefully received!
