My death's-head is paested on yay!

I have just picked up from two different houses two galahs who, between them, have:

-have 3 broken wings
-2 broken legs
-at least 1 punctured lung and coughing up blood
-maggots.

One of the birds reeked of decay. I lifted the wing and could see things moving in the wound. The little girl looked at me and asked "What will you do to the bird?" Her mum gave me a haunted look and silently mouthed the word 'Vet.'

"I'll take it to the vet tomorrow," I lied.

So now I have 2 galahs quietly expiring on my back patio.

The other people asked me about who to call about a dog they found in the park. It had been killed, burned and buried, hopefully in that order. I told them to call the RSPCA. I hope they find the owner. I really hope they do.

Thank you, Den, for doing what you do. I can always feel your sadness in posts like these, and I'm glad you keep at it in spite of it, and admire you for it. You are one of the good guys.
