After Five Years, A Wildlife Success Story!

[endlessrarities]

Hoorah!  I just phoned the wildlife hospital at Hessilhead, and the ailing pigeon is doing well and is starting to show an interest in feeding itself.  A full recovery is expected, and it will be released (along with its new friend...) in a couple of weeks.

Does this mean that, statistically speaking, only one in five of my rescue attempts will have a happy ending? 

A survival rate of one in five is, however, better than none at all.  And I'm reliably informed that my step-daughter was probably right.  The murder attempt was probably carried out by a homicidal crow...

I never thought it would try and take out a mature healthy bird.  Hovering buzzards, murderous crows....  Whatever next??

I will definitely be on the lookout for attempts on my life by the bird population of Scotland next time I'm up there. :)
