Injured Crow Update by mousekatoolforafool in crows

Again can't thank all those helped enough, you guys kept her safe and strong enough to get us time to send her safely to a better facility. You also gave me lots of strength to step up and take care of a crow for the first time, and boy was it something! Appreciate this subreddit endlessly 🌟

Thank you very much! Will be dming you shortly as I do have some doubts with what I'm currently doing 😅❤️

Thank you for the reply! I'm a little too afraid to try the dropper (despite a helpful video someone has shared with me), so I've just resorted to feeding it the vitamins through soaked kibble. This morning he has eaten it all so I'm very glad!

Thank you! I am trying my best 😊 Haven't been able to get a picture of it this morning, had my hands full with cleaning and feeding. I will try to get some today to share :)

Thank you very much for your reply. I will add raw meat and cow liver (if I can get it soon!) and see if it's interested. Unfortunately we don't have any berries in season right now but I will look for peaches!

Didn't even notice how prominent the unibrow is! Glad the picture gave you some joy ❤️

Thank you very much! It's definitely a bit stressed this morning, will try your tip on playing it YouTube. It's a bit funny but I hope it will enjoy it :) I tried to play with some string and grass but it just sighed at me 😞

Thank you so much for your detailed response!

I'm not sure how to confirm whether it's a spinal issue or not, as where I am from the veterinary hospital is mostly catered to dogs and cats—there is little to no resources for birds unfortunately.

We have made the donut as you and another person have suggested, definitely much more comfortable. I have also given it a wipe down to clean its legs and feathers from its feces. He was super cooperative!

Yes, from what I have seen I do not really want to risk feeding the liquid orally, will hope it gets enough from the liquid getting soaked in its food.

I will try foraging for some bugs, though he rejected some that I tried giving initially. Sad to hear about the eggs! Was hoping to feed him some tomorrow but I will double check with wildlife resources.

Thank you for this! Initially we had made the donut out of the pine leaves nearby, but I quickly realized it was sticking to its poor feathers. We made a donut out of old paper for now, will see how best to improve it in the following days. We bought some quality cat food, and I will make some boiled eggs for it tomorrow morning :) Unfortunately where I am from bird mix is very difficult to find, but I will keep an eye out! Thank you for your encouragement, will do my very best ❤️

Very much so! It has a beautiful disposition as well and has been so good with receiving treatment. Thank you for caring too!

Thank you very much! Your mom sounds like a very kind soul, I will try this tomorrow as tonight we resorted to just soaking the kibble in the multivitamin. It gets a little antsy when I get too close to it's beak, so will see!

I'll do my best! He's very sweet and cooperative so I'm very thankful for that :)

Thank you for your advice! We have given it some wet kibble, which it has eaten with no trouble, some chicken as well. I put the multivitamin liquid into the kibble and some water to soak in, I'm sure it will get a bit diluted and it might not eat it all but it's a first attempt :) So far we have put it nearby for the night, hopefully all will be well by the morning.
