    Injured Blackbird, help needed

    I thought I would give an update on the Blackbird. He seems to be fine at the moment, I think he`s feeding mainly on insects as he spends a lot of time rummaging in the bark around the plants. He can fly OK and looks better than when I first saw him. wtmvm.

    Injured Blackbird, help needed

    Injured Blackbird, help needed

    Thank you for the reply bongofury. I have visited the link you provided and completed the survey. The bird was in the garden at lunch time and again this evening.

    Injured Blackbird, help needed

He still seems able...

    Injured bird advice needed

    I have what I think is an injured hen blackbird in my garden. The problem seems to be its tail feathers, they appear to be bent down and over to one side, it is very tame and I could probably catch it if necessary. apart from that problem which seems to stop it flying, it seems very healthy...
