A friend drew my attention to a Koel that had been
attacked by a cat y'day. It couldnt't fly amd seems to have an injured
right leg.
It's a juvenile, only recently fledged I would
guess as it still has a noticeable gape.
With mixed feeling I picked it up and brought it
home. We managed to feed it some mushed up Apricot using a syringe but it
hasn't eaten a lot and now seems to be having a hard time. It can't
stand-although it grisp a perch, and lays with one wing
extended.
I know many people have strong feelings about not
interfering with nature etc. but having intervened, what is the best thing we
can do for the bird?
Many thanks,
