My boyfriend called me at 4.30pm, (it's now 6.30) "come out the back of the house, Bring the cage".
I went out with the cage and a towel to see a quaker on the floor one street away, my boyfriend said a cat was about to pounce him and he chased it away. I could see blood and a bent wing. My vet closed at 3pm. So, I remembered Peppers hero vet and I wasted no time, I scooped him up and carried him in my arms to the cage. A friend of my boyfriend was quite impressed how quick I was in picking him up and taking him off, I was only there for one minute.
Pit stop outside my house to offer him a dish of water, he drank 2 mouthfuls.
Straight down into the car, the journey is 10 minutes. I got there and had to sit and wait my turn at the vet, the same man was there, which was a relief.
He looked at the bird, he says the wing is really bad. He also said that the bird is young because of the wing feathers still partially unopened.
My intention was to leave the bird there, and once he's healed he could be released however, they said he might not heal enough to be released and so they would have to ring a protector if I didn't take charge of him and they would come, tell us they will care for him, and then put him down or poison him. The monk parakeets are invasive species here and so they are obligated to terminate any handed in.
After phonecalls to my boyfriend and my dad to split the bill to soften the blow, I agreed to accept ownership and left the bird there. He is having an x-ray and an antibiotic. And they will take the next steps to helping him heal. The vet will call me later to pick him up.
My heart breaks for so many birds that are found and the human is not helped in helping these birds. Lucky for Pepper and this little guy, we have a little money, we're not rich but we're not poor either.
The hero vet strikes again!
Please keep this little guy in your thoughts!! He literally stared death in the face and my boyfriend saved him!
I leave the country the day after tomorrow. Hopefully we will figure this situation out.
