Here's a story on the other side of things.
This morning, while walking the dog around the marsh, we came across a raven which had been roosting on the parts of my dock. It didn't fly away, but flapped and hopped away from us. I called the dog back and noted the bird didn't go too far. After calling the regional wildlife rescue center, I rook some dog food down to the place where the bird had been hanging out. Over the next hour it ate that, so I went back with a crate and more food to get it used to changes in case we had to capture it. The raven walked and hopped about 100 yards away and didn't go back for an hour, but eventually accepted the crate and food. My next plan was to attach a long cord to the door and try to capture the bird, but about a half hour later it started making short, then longer flights. It was joined by another raven and a few minutes ago both birds were on the lawn close to the house. I don't know if the bird was cold and starving, sick or bruised, but it seems to have made a recovery!
After the weekend we just had, I guess I needed to feel I accomplished something.
Oops. Must have been other ravens flying around. It seems our charge is still dealing with limited mobility
