May photos of all my birds

May update - our drought has certainly broken this month and our water tanks are now overflowing. Not particularly cold as yet and Pav, the Pukeko, is loving the rain as you can see from his photos. Drummer, the Tui, has now left the aviary and doesn't return at night. He is doing well. Tui Tecker is coming along nicely - her leg has healed and she is coming and going from the aviary during the day. Flying strongly and as you can see, flies in and lands on my head! Very funny bird this one :)

Prue, the dove has gone to live in an aviary with Robert in Whangarei. He has other ringneck doves and since Prue was unable to fly, she can have company of the other doves in the aviary. I thought that this was best for her.

Millie, the sparrow, refuses to leave her aviary. I will try a slow release of her come spring when the weather warms up.

My newest wait is a little seagull that was found on Russell beach a few days ago. Hurt leg and wing and was very weak.
I suspect this bird had been hit by a car and one of her wings has been run over. The wing is not broken but the flight feathers were all crushed and mangled. I have trimmed these flight feathers right back, am treating the leg with Arnica, and hopefully, once her flight feathers have grown again, she will be releaseable. Meantime, she sits in an aviary, undercover and is eating well. Much more fiesty with me now which is a positive sign.
