Bird Rehab




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............
