Today's Rescue

[den]

Eastern Rosella. This bird was hit by a car and has a broken back just behind the pelvis. Apart from that he is fat and healthy.


He'll never fly and can't be released. The tail is floppy and doesn't move to keep him balanced, so it won't help him fly.




And because he's so wild, he can't be kept in captivity. The Zoo has no place for him.



I euthanased him.

Poor guy. I love the rosellas that occasionally come past my house and look in my windows, they always seem to be having so much fun.
