Ginny is enjoying her baths!
She arrived with a swelling to her wing which we began to suspect was a break to either her radius or ulna so we had her examined by our vet who confirmed a slight break was present.
She is continuing painkillers and is having her wing strapped for the majority of the day to keep it comfortable – she does not always keep her bandage on as you can see! She is a very active gull, who is loving her food. We are very hopeful she will heal in a manner that will allow her to be released in time. Breaks to long bones generally heal well when there is no joint involvement.
(Since this video, Ginny has moved to an outside aviary)
As mentioned previously, Ginny does not alway appreciate our help or her wing bandage… any ideas for a “cone of shame” for a gull…
