:hi: everyone,
I’m new here (just write in "say hello") hoping to find someone who can give me some advice about a baby crow.
I already knew the steps to do in case I had have found a baby bird, so I took it because it was in danger and injured.
3 weeks ago I saw a baby hooded crow falling down the nest. I live in a pretty traffic street and the tree is practically on the road, so me and my mum immediately approached to the crow because it was in danger. I know crows after about 5 weeks leave the nest and trying/learn to fly, so we waited to see if their parents were looking at it, but nobody came (I think it was kicked out). It was injured, and the place where it fallen it’s not safe, so we bring it home.
I called the vet who came home and he said it has a foot malformation (it has the toe who should stay behind - sorry I don’t know its specific name - in front, next to the others ones so it can’t walk.. it limps) but it can heal even if not so quickly.
Now here the situation: after 3 weeks it still injured but it seems better than before, last Monday it started to eat a little bit alone and to takes baths.
After I feed it, it always does strange sounds and I can’t understand if they’re good (happiness) or bad (maybe it’s annoyed having me around?) It doesn’t peck at me and sometimes it lets you pet it and seems it likes it pretty much. (I read to avoid as much as possible the human contact so it will be easier to release it in nature, but I think for its recovery its better not to leave it alone with itself)
Does anybody have had the same situation? How should I have to do? Leave it alone or keep staying around? Sometimes when it sees me coming from the other room it croaks..
Since it still walks bad, it’s often in its corner doing nothing and I’m really sorry about that!! Sometimes it plays with a little ball but I don’t know how to stimulate it. Yesterday I picked a furry ball (it was my cats’) and it scared so much. I know crows are really smart and I don’t want let it grows like and amoeba. I want to stimulate it with some smart games.. can you please give me some advice about that?
Thanks and sorry for any English mistakes
