What do you do when you find a tiny Northern Mockingbird with impaired feet? With a little imagination and some cardboard and tape, you can fix it in an amazing way!
A kind-hearted group of people at the California Wildlife Center (CWC) saved a poor mockingbird whose foot condition prevented it from walking, perching, or gripping items. The birdie had an unknown injury that caused her feet to knuckle, something that is a common condition in young birds.
The rescuers made something that looks like tiny snowshoes. The design ensured that the bird’s feet could repair and reposition themselves in the right places. Prior to that, the bird was inflicting more pain by having to constantly stand on the tips of her toes. ‘It usually takes a week or two of wearing the snowshoes before their feet are back to normal.” – Duane Tom from CWC told The Dodo.
The sources confirm that the snowshoe operation has been a success. The birdie is getting ready to go back to the wild and delight us with her lullabies. Hooray!
