Ken called me last week from Manitou at the beginning of the blizzard. He had found a junco running around in his yard, unable to fly. Ken picked the bird up, brushed the snow off, and brought the bird inside. Ken is no stranger to birds, having had his own parrots for many years. Ken has also sent injured birds to Ellicott Wildlife Rehab in the past; birds he had found injured near his home. Ken explained the bird was holding its wing out a bit and didn't seem able to bring the wing close to its body. Otherwise the bird seemed alert and healthy. Although it is not legal to keep wildlife without a State and Federal permit, Kendidn't have a choice, since the blizzard had hit and there was no getting out. He kept the bird comfortable and quiet, placed in front of the window in his quiet, stress-free home, and waited until he could get out to take the bird to the vet, where it was determined the bird had broken its wing, probably several days prior to Ken's finding it. This is a rather severe fracture of a tiny wing, already calloused and hardened. The bird is at EWRC now where he will rest the wing for several days, then begin exercising it at his own pace, until hopefully ready for release, back to Ken's yard, where the juncos live all year.Let's wish the bird lots of luck and success. Thank you, Ken, for caring so much about the birds!
