Joycey 20 Posted April 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Well i understand what all of you are saying, but being a falconer my self i will not knock this buzzard on the head unless i feel the need to do so..ie: it starts to deteriorate or can not be released back into the wild.. but things are changing with it, i got home from work yday and the buzzard had been eating the rabbit i left in its flyte so that is a good sign, plus its going to the vets later for a check up, so if all goes well il give it a week or so to feed it up then i will release it..

Tiercel 6,986 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 When you take the buzzard to the vets get him to make a statment of the birds condition. As to if the bird could survive in the wild at the present. TC Quote Link to post

Ideation 8,216 Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Forgetting for a second that Buzzards are dirty b*****ds. Don't give it up to the RSPCA, they will kill it quicker than much else, because they no feck all about them. Get it to a BOP sanctury and out your hair. Quote Link to post

Astral 253 Posted April 8, 2013 Report Share Posted April 8, 2013 Glad to hear its doing well! I must admit Id of tried to nurse it back to health too if I couldn't get it to a sanctuary. Love wild birds of prey, I'm lucky i'm not too far from two BOP places now, had to drop in a barn owl last year I found looking very confused at the side of the road. Quote Link to post
