#sickbird — Public Fediverse posts

Animal control must be sick of me, with how often they have to drive up here.

I could pick this birdy (unsure if thrush or blackbird) up with my bare hands, he was extremely skinny and as I was holding him he closed his eyes and his head dropped to the side. I thought he was a goner right there and then. But he was still kicking when they came to pick him up, so fingers crossed he makes it through the night.

This gull is much improved since last September. It had very poor coordination.

Attempts to release it last year resulted in short lived flights. It's been overwintered in the Sussex CentrePark for gulls, (My greenhouse).

It's a lot better, walking, eating, preening and taking short flights. Despite having avian UVB lamps it has moulted.

What can help its feathers grow? When is the best time of year to release it?
