Juvenile - just about to fledge, but it can't eat on its own.

(Taken before we wrapped the wing.)

oh poor baby. :/

None of the vets are open tomorrow, and the only rescue we can reach is full.
We've had to improvise. We've cleaned the joint and wrapped the wing with a bandage we found - hopefully that'll stop it from flapping it around.
It seems a bit wobbly, but I think that's because it's a little stressed, and it doesn't know what to do about the bandage. We don't have any pain relief.
It's thin, and it won't really eat. We've given it a little bit of water, but I don't think it was enough.

It just needs to make it through tomorrow. Then we can take it to a vet on Monday.

Ugh, I know what you mean. I have to wait 'till Monday too for Cricket. :/

Poor little pigeon.

Cricket's tendon just slipped to the other side today. I put her back in the sling to hold her leg straight. Please pray with me that her tendon will heal in the right place and that she can be a normal fluttery Guinea like the others!

The pigeon has broken it's wing right at the joint. It's snapped through the skin. There's not a lot of blood, but it must be in major pain. We're going to see if we can get a place at the emergency vets for it tomorrow.
We've not done much, except for give it water and put it somewhere safe.

guys I'm so sorry to hear that

Yeah.
I don't even know if its wing is bandaged properly. :/

Loons are Ontario's provincial bird!

Cool!

I think they'd put him down. They don't even try to save old animals. :/

I'm sorry.

Thanks. That's the same picture we followed, but I think I tied it too low? I don't even know. I just hope that it is right.

Cool!

Your welcome. I hope it can hang on until Monday.
