Pigeon with Broken Leg

This poor chap came to us with a broken leg, depending on where the break is, determines the treatment we administer.

This chappie has a break quite high up and so he’s in sling to support his weight. He’s quite happy in this position, he can easily feed and drink. In a matter of a couple more weeks he will be moved to the aviary until we are confident with his recovery, then he’ll be released.
