kriti 274 Posted November 24, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2015 A local expat who deals with rescue organisations has taken the sparrowhawk to put on the ferry to Athens, there it will be picked up by a rescue centre and hopefully they'll be able to fix its wing and release it back into the wild. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wullz 408 Posted November 26, 2015 Report Share Posted November 26, 2015 I used to get 2 or 3 of these every year. When the young are going out hunting on their own. They would get caught out in a storm sooner or later and try and take budgies or canaries out of the local bird breeders cages, injuring themselves in the process. I would get a call and have to go down and catch them, I had recuperation cages (giant hoods) built in a rack in the garage and I would get them healed up and release them....they heal up well enough under the right circumstances, as long as you dont use wire fronts on the cages, to prevent bumble foot. I had dowel fronts on mine..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
