Pigeons Progress

It's ten days since the Sparrowhawk attack on the pigeon. Have been treating it daily, with anti bacterial cream. I can report progress, but the injury is severe, deep, and has exposed tendons and sinews vital to the wing flight mechanism. Basically the hawk has eaten all the  skin and flesh that covered them.

Must be a horrible experience being painfully eaten alive !!
However, the pigeon is eating well and has an obsessive liking for black sunflower seeds, must be getting something really helpful to it.

Looking good and not even attempted to fly out of the box, so will give it all the time it needs to fully recover...if ever !
