 Zed has a home for life here at Corvid Aid

Zed

Zed is our most recent resident. He came in after being rescued by a lady called Sandra, who found Zed being mobbed by magpies. Noticing that he was clearly unable to fly and he also had an injured foot, she took him to the vets who said the wing would probably heal in a few weeks.

Unfortunately when Sandra phoned us she had already had Zed for two weeks so if the wing was broken it would have healed by now and with it not being seen by a specialist vet the chances are it would have healed in the wrong position.

My worst fears were confirmed when Zed was brought in, his wing had quite clearly dropped and he was unable to fly properly, although his foot had healed nicely. Sandra had tried her best and did the right thing by taking him to a vet, its just unfortunate that many vets are not experienced enough to deal with wild birds.

Sadly nothing can be done for Zed now, but he does appear very settled in captivity so he will now have a home here for life, and if it wasnt for Sandra he wouldnt have survived at all.

Zed was named after Zed from the Police Academy films because of the strange noise he makes. Jays make quite a terrible sound for such beautiful birds!
