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.

It's amazing at the colors nature can produce. Just beautiful.

*hugs* You couldn't release him, and if you had he would have come to a much worse end. You helped him even though it doesn't always seem so.
