Having bandaged Angie the young Woodpigeons wing for a further week, I felt confident enough to remove it and transfer her to the Aviary.
The Wing is now fused for good or ill, and can only hope it gets used enough to be able to eventually release her into the wild.
She can currently fly enough to take off from the ground and land on a perch. She has several broken feathers and most of her tail feathers still missing, otherwise she is in fine health.
She shares the Aviary with Bluey, a male feral pigeon with a broken wing that I've had for 3 years, he is confined to the ground, but allowed outside to mingle with the pigeon visitors.
Meanwhile Angie enjoys TLC and is partial to black sunflower seeds, served up in an egg cup...short video below.
