Take 4. I was hiking near Fordingbridge in Hampshire a few months ago and I came across a buzzard caught on barbed wire.
After half an hour shin deep in bog, I managed to release her but she seemed exhausted & had quite a nasty wound on her wing.
So she came home with me wrapped up in my smock and had a day in the dog's cage. I couldn't believe how friendly she was letting me hold her & stroke her beak. My plan was to feed her chicken for a week, let the wound heal, take her back and release her back into the wild...
But, my wife insisted I call the RSPCA. :bluThinki Who promptly came, took her away, and had her put down within a couple of hours.
No bones broken, no major feathers missing, just a small open wound. I smelled a rat when they spoke about releasing her back into the wild but never asked me where abouts I found her. :bluThinki
