Hello kipper, you need to post in the Bird forum to get any help. What you have done is posted to yourself, no big deal, the site can be confusing. Done it myself twice with two different posts. You don't need to worry about the legality of rescuing these birds as you have no intention of keeping them. Just copy and paste both your posts as New threads :) -
Dont know if this message is getting through to any one, i am new to the forum but here goes.. Early this year i found a young crow, it was in a bad state having few feathers most of which had not developed from the protective sheaths. Crow is now well grown but still few feathers. I have adopted another none flying crow from my local bird sanctuary where i was told that it is quite common for crows to be found in tthis condition. Recently i was brought a rook that was very thin weak and again unable to fly although it was well featherd. Rook is now doing well but i am worried that as it could not manage earlyer and with the winter coming on, that it may return to its former weak state. The problem is intensified by the factthat the rook and one of the crows a[[er to have fallen in love. What do you think? - I have a delamere Early this year i found a young crow, it was in a very bad state, having few feathers most had not and have not emerge from their covering sheaths. The crow is now well grown but few feathers. I took the crow to a local bird sanctuary which had lots of crows in a similar condition to my bird. To cut a long story short, i ended up with one of the sanctuary's crows as well as my own. I have no problem housing them a month ago i was given a rook that looked in good condition feather wise but was thin and unable to fly. The rook can now fly but i am worried that it might return to its former condition if i let it go, and with winter coming on i am concerned that as it could not look after itself before it will fail in the bad weather. To make matters worse the Rook has taken to one of the crows they seem very fond of each other sitting close and touching beaks ofectionatly. PS i am aware that keeping wild birds in captivity is ilegal. Sugestions please Kipper.
