Introducing Corvid Isle Sanctuary Residents
Feral Pigeon Marcus
Marcus has been rescued by us in December 2018. We found him on the road side after being injured by a car. At the time Marcus was very poorly with signs of marked starvation and dehydration. He did suffer a severe concussion and a beak fracture, which resulted in a mild cross beak deformity. Despite all odds Marcus recovered very well and settled eventually happily into our pigeon community. The beak fracture healed well too, but a slight scissor beak remained. Marcus adapted to this slight impairment without bigger problems.
Feral Pigeon Ysabeau
Ysabeau came to us only a few weeks after Marcus in January 2019. We found her collapsed on a busy High Street with signs of hypothermia, starvation and dehydration. Ysabeau had neurological problems without an obvious traumatic or infective cause. As she was very poorly, we had no other choice than to treat her symptomatically. This approach paid off, although it took Ysabeau several weeks of intensive treatment and care to turn the corner. To our delight Ysabeau recovered eventually and integrated without any problems into our pigeon flock. Ysabeau is in particular in very good terms with feral pigeons Marcus and Bianca.
