Tuesday 6th Oct, we had 2 students from Birmingham University down to measure the field of vision on Corvids. They have been studying this on Caledonion crows, and wanted to see if other corvids were the same,as caledonians have a wider vision. It was very interesting and the crows were all treated with respect and were made very calm and stress free.Jolyon and Emma did a fantastic job.They studied ROXY,BOO,BRYN,RODNEY and REGGIE.
We also have another arrival, Carrion crow from Knutsford animal hospital brought down by a kind lady. The crow has a old break to the wing.
Wednesday 7th Oct we had Sarah Bloodworth here taking photos of most off the birds. She is a student at Blackpool Uni doing a photographic course on Corvids. She has agreed to put her work on our site, so watch this space.
We have also rehomed another injured Jackdaw.
We have successfully rehomed HOLLY to a nice couple, she has settled in well there and is part of the family.
We also have rehomed ANT and DEC to a lady children’s books author. They are a big corvid loving family, they have built then a fantastic aviary and shed where they will live happily ever after.
We also have RODNEY now, he is an AFRICAN PIED CROW who is tame and lives in the house with us as a pet, he came from a friend who was desperate to rehome him. he is a beautiful bird and very tame.
We also have QUINCY an injured QUAIL from a vets in West Bromwich. he has a nasty head wound.
