We also had a Carrion Crow brought to us by a man called Nigel, who rescued him from a canal in Penkridge. He was so tame when we got him, he sat on Nigels arm when he got out of the car and made no attempt to fly off, he even hopped on to mine. We knew that if the bird was to be released later on, then he had to be dehumanised. We managed it and 5 months later in September we called Nigel back and arranged for him to re release the crow near to where he found him. Nigel picked me up and we drove back to Penkridge and he recorded the moment on his phone video. A greatmoment and success. We also managed to release the Thrush into my mums garden as she has other Thrushes in there.
We had several Crows broght in with broken wings, we rehomed two to a nice crow enthusiast tattoo artist from Hamel hempstead. He drove all the way up to collect them as soon as he had built his large aviary.
Another imprinted Crow came in from Nutsford a rescue centre there, we rehomed him to a friend who has given him a great loving home, hes a character and gets up to loads of mischief. Steve who homed him called him Russell crow.Hes doing great.
Next we drove down to Cambridge to rehome Ant and Dec to a lady author there.She had built a fantastic aviary with lots to do and explore in there. Steve and myself drove down and had a pleasant surprise when we saw their new home.
We have rehomed several other crows that came to us that couldnt be released. We always pick up on good corvid loving people, we wouldnt let the birds go to them other wise and homes are vetted where possible.
Next came a lovely rook from oxford. The kind couple brought it up to us. At first we thought it may have brain damage, as it kept twitching and doing cicular movements and cartwheels. But on further observation, it looks like loss of sight in the one eye. Michelle from Rook rescue in leicestershire thinks it may have a detatched retina from a bang to the head. He is a beautiful bird and loves a cuddle before bed. We named him Uther, off merlin the wizard.
Another Rook arrived not long after that was vert tame and seemed hand reared because it had no fear of human touch at all. We called him Arthur and he and Boo have struck up a strong bond. It looks like they are a pair now (watch this space).
Along with the rehoming and releases and good news, we have our fair share of losses too. We sadly lost Reggie the crow from Glasgow. He was in a bad way with his feet and no tail feathers. He is sadly missed by the whole family here at crows r us. We also lost- a Jackdaw, three crows and a rook. You can never tell if they have internal injuries or diseases when they arrive. Its so sad when you loose them and sometimes feel you havent tried hard enough.
