I admit I was hopeful too. For what its worth scissors(with or with out a strike to the back of the head) or starting fluid with a high ether content are both pretty good from what I've seen and heard
Yeah, I believe that's scissor beak(I've also heard in called cross beak). It looks pretty bad, can he eat or drink on his own, I'm figuring no but I'm hopeful. And could you get pics of his eye please, I'm just morbidly curious really
