Hi everyone!
So my friend had rescued two green herons, out of which one passed away sadly.
The other one, Tara, has a broken leg which has set wrong, but he is otherwise healthy and has reached adulthood.
I've been thinking of releasing him at a lake in our city where other water birds and migratory birds have been spotted. He's an active and intelligent bird and loves filling soil inside his water bowl and dunks his fish in it if they get dry and even leaves to play with!
Is there any thing I should do before I release him? Any way to acclimatise him to the forest or just directly leave him there? I was thinking of building a little nest for him with his favourite cushion and toy.
Any tips would be appreciated.
