The rehab duck with the previously broken leg was finally released today.
The sun shone for the first time in weeks, and the 10 day rehab after the splints were removed ensured that she was fully recovered.
Not even a hint of a limp she took to the river with great joy, diving and splashing and giving herself a good wash and preen. I am truly happy she is back in the wild, although I'll miss our little drinks together !!
After 3 weeks rehab the injured duck was released back to the river this evening.
She is back to full health and happy to return to the river. The white duck she had been sharing the aviary with will miss her, until I get another companion installed for it.
Another happy arrival this evening was a brood of 7 adding to the 3 others on the river.
Having inspected the rehab duck this morning, I decided to release her back to the river.
Her back had healed with new feather growth, so it was time to let her go.
