New pigeon patient

She’s a lovely looking bird but her wings are both injured.  Not broken hopefully but not quite folding back as they should do.  She was sitting quite still when she was found and brought in to us. Resting and moving as little as possible is best for her until her wings heal.   They usually do and we are optiimistic about her chances.  She looks well in herself and is eating with a good appetite.  When birds and animals don’t eat their chances are less good.

The little hedgehogs are all doing well, Justin has perked up and enjoyed his dinners today.  He had to be encouraged to begin with and soon got the hang of eating from a spoon.  Now he is quite lively.   Solo is free from masggots and is also doing well, which is quite miraculous after the dreadful state he was in yesterday.  Both these hoglets are quite tame and seem to be enjoying all the fuss and attention.  Our other baby hedgehogs in the nursery just eat and sleep and snuggle under their towels and yawn and curl up until it’s feed time again.  They are in good shape now but not big enough yet to release.  When they’ve grown a bit more and put on weight we’ll let them go.
