I took her to the vet at the zoo. They examined her properly.

She had lost all her no.2 finger, and most of her no.3 and no.4 fingers.
That's about 60% of the wing. She'll never fly again.



I left her there. They'll put her on pain-killers tonight and euthanase her
tomorrow. The delay is because they have to take tissue and blood samples
and get them to Geelong to be tested for lyssavirus, and they can't do that
tonight.

I feel like shit.

At least you tried and gave her what comfort you could... Better than her dying alone in the wild and unable to fly.

Thanks Batty for doing all the good work you do, you try to save every one you come across and that's what counts.
