Well there were a few options for this bird...Originally Posted by AK907
Not to seem rude or anything, but you amputated his wing YOURSELF and you have no medical background and are not a vet??? I'm glad he is doing better now, but you'll have to forgive me if I find this to be a little sketchy.
1. Crow lives on its own with a broken wing on the ground until caught by a cat, run over by a car, or the infection eventually takes hold of him. He dies.
2. We try and help him, we amputate the wing and with our experience in doing minor surgeries to help various animals we feel confident and go through with it. He dies
3. We try and help him, we amputate the wing and with our experience in doing minor surgeries to help various animals we feel confident and go through with it. He lives.
3. is the story the crow has gone through. We saved his life, he is in a spare aviary i used to use for cockatiels. Of course compaired to the open wild and being free his quality of life has gone down a bit. But an intelligent creature such as a crow will be able to explore, play and learn from being a captive pet. IMO its better than being dead, or suffering a death of a broken wing.
Its cool if some people would say oh its nature you should have just left him alone. Thats fine for most people but if i can help then i will. And it was a success. So I feel good about it.
