American Crow 🐦‍⬛

[kme3388]

I just “rescued” an American crow today. I dropped him off here https://wrcmn.org/. I hope he makes it. I was taking my dog for a walk, and found this little guy on the ground surrounded by corn cobs. He ate some of them. When I tried to scare him off the ground I realized he couldn’t fly. I couldn’t just leave him there. Crows are incredibly intelligent, but a flightless bird on the ground in a neighborhood full of cats & dogs doesn’t stand a chance.

I plan on emailing the rehab place in a few days to check the status. I was informed during the drop off that the West Nile virus is going around in crows, and it’s deadly to them.

Oh how lucky is this little guy that you found him, @kme3388, somebody "upstairs" sure was looking out for him. I hope he makes it too!

I wanted to correct myself. It’s called the West Nile virus that is going around in crows. It’s transferred by mosquitos is what I was told.

Thank you for caring enough to try to help this poor bird. I hope he makes it.

Sad but nice that they sent this message and that they bothered to fully evaluate his injuries before putting him out of his misery. Fly high, baby bird!

Oh that's so sad, I'm sorry he didn't make it, but you gave him a chance at life, @kme3388, and it was very kind of them to let you know so at least you have some closure. Kindness like that which you displayed is never wasted
