Below is a crested pigeon that we've been looking after for a couple of weeks. He doesn't do much other than just sit on the perch all day. He's definitely eating, drinking and pooing, but apart from that, the only time we see him move is if we get to close to him.
He's now with another, more experienced carer who is assessing him. It seems he may be brain damaged. We know he can't fly, he doesn't even attempt to.
Those of you that have been following this blog from the beginning will know all about Lucky, pictured below.
Well Lucky has finally moved on. Because he's been through so much with us, he's become a bit attached to us. There's no way he could be released from here as he's not feral enough. He'll spend some time with another carer that will help to make him as feral as possible, then he'll hopefully be back out in the wild.
Now that Lucky has vacated the aviary he's been living in for the past few months, Clive has moved in there. The poor little bloke didn't have a good introduction to outdoor living as we had a storm last night, his first in the aviary. He was okay after the storm and we could hear him jumping around and exploring his new abode.
With Clive's old cage being vacated, we had room for someone else, so now Banjo has joined the family. Banjo is another brushtail possum who weighs about 500g at the moment. I'll post some pics of him once he's settled in a bit. We thought we'd give him an Australian name, so we named him after Banjo Patterson.
