Sadly, yesterday my little Silvereye died. Have no idea why - had this little bird since early July and she was happy, eating well, very tame and seemed fine but was dead yesterday morning. She may have been an old bird and at the end of her life when she was found but I comfort myself with the fact that she had had a happy few weeks - fed, warm and not at all stressed by her captivity.
Unfortunately (!) last week I saw a Weka in my garden crawling up the driveway with one leg hanging uselessly. I went rushing out and never thought it would be my Ralph but it was. Very exhausted, very dehydrated and a very sad bird :(
I've had him in intensive care this last week and his health is much better but his leg is still very bad. Doing Arnica treatments many times during the day and I think I can see some slight improvement but it will be a long period of confinement for him. But he is eating well and I've got everything crossed for a recovery.
And, of course, no post complete without Pav below :)
