Salvation Black Kite

Hello.
Recently saw a couple of similar themes, and decided to tell his story.

Driving along the forest path, we saw a bird.
I took the camera and began to shoot (not crow city, interestingly) ...
Bird standing on a forest road, and I was waiting for that now she will fly.
When approaching a bird tried to escape and to take off, but then fell to the ground, it was evident that the wing is damaged.

Caught, drove in vet.kliniku ... I was told that the wing can not be saved ... protruding bones, already postponed larvae maggots and had a peculiar smell.
They said that the only option - amputation ...

(as over - write)





The operation was carried out together with your veterinarian.
I held the bird, she was cutting ...
It was feared that the bird did not survive the operation.
Analgesic effect only on the "skin" of the wing at the joint ... it was not working ... the bird was greatly weakened.



On arrival home, I began to look for useful information.
I found a good forum poultry houses, with good professionals and breeders of birds of prey.
I found out that someone was not in the hands of the black kite.
I learn how to feed and house ...



The first days they ate beef, only beef.
At first I had to force-feed, putting small pieces of stuffing in the bird's throat ... swallowed ... (it is important to maintain the strength of poultry)
The water is brought to the beak and gently dipping to him ... he knew it, he realized he was drinking.

With the bird I was working in the autumn and winter gloves ... because peck very much ... and sharp claws.



At this point I do not think that you are smarter than others.
Any bird - it's not a kitten.
They need a very different approach and more complex care.
Otherwise, the bird can simply spoil aggravate her condition.
An important point - the right food.
Daytime predators feed on rodents and other small birds.

If you can not give the mice, it is necessary to diversify the diet of small bones, hryaschik, skins, feathers ... and still aspire to a normal diet for a predator.



The content of the invalid bit simplifies matters.
Bird quickly got used to me ... and could not fly.



Very soon I fed him an unprotected hand.
He occasionally (and still) bites me ... but so weak that leave no trace ... and not hurt.

This predator is not a pet.
It's a friend. Have their own character and mood.
He was angry when he could not jump on the chair ... offense ... I had somehow to calm him down.



I had to order from Moscow a little ammunition required for normal content.
1. jesses. Dress up the bird legs, and employees a kind of "collar».
2. The glove falconer. It has an elongated cuff (I called it correctly?), Because the bird sitting on the hand ... as there is a strap hole, which in turn are attached jesses ... but we is not fixed, because it can not fly.



So we now live in.

No nursery in the Novosibirsk region, I could not find.
Exception - a fake falcon nursery in d.Pristan-mail, where, under the pretext of breeding falcons builded a large territory under recreation ... and get rid of the Falcons.

Getting help from local veterinarians.
Agreement with the two stations naturalists help rodents to feed.
Consult Offline falconers.

Last Post.

Once again I wish to appeal to all who ever finds a bird of prey.
Heed to its contents, or just looking for a place where you can attach the bird to bird gets ... all that is needed.

Predators in no case be kept in a cage. They break the plumage.
About the food I said.

That's all ... in short ...
In fact, a lot more nuances content.
Here and problems that the bird does not perceive you as a parent.
And perches. And mount leash. Education falconry.

 - And more ... bonus.
Now I try to help in the rescue of a hawk.
He was found in Omsk, and can not give it good content ...
The man did the right thing without being able to give all the necessary bird - he asked for help ...
I have already agreed to the bird took on one of the stations of naturalists, and so in the course of the week I will meet hawk "parcel" in Novosibirsk ... (if in Omsk will not find better conditions)

Photo hawk.

I am everything.
