Well, I came across a Swallow in distress. Ok. Now what?
I decided to take the bird in and see if I couldn't give it a second chance.
I always have containers from and for everything, lol. I have a small clear critter carrier. Perfect to minimize to much movement while the wing, wings healed
I fed it crickets, since swallows are insectivores. It took to them immediately. Whew, off to a good start.
After about four days, I checked her ability to fly, over grass, of course, but she wasn't ready.
I decided to up grade her accommodations to facilitate wing movement......
This became her new home for another 3 days.
She was able to get live food efficiently and jump on and off the perch.
She was doing very good.
Today I brought her to the park and she flew off like a champ. It is as so rewarding, so cool to see. My wife and I did a good job.
We're so happy it worked out....
Thanks for looking............
