The exciting and wonderful news is that the palm-nut vulture rescued from Ramsgate recently has made incredible progress on his recovery journey.
Denika Govender, spokesperson of the Centre for Rehabilitation of Wildlife (CROW), based in Yellowwood Park in Durban, said that after weeks of dedicated care, he has now moved into a spacious bird of prey enclosure, where he is showing significant improvement.
“He is using his legs much more and increasing his flight daily, a remarkable sign of his strength returning.”
Next up, they will be transitioning him to a flight aviary, where he will have the freedom to spread his wings even more and get the exercise he needs to fully regain his mobility.
“We cannot wait to see him soar again!” she added.
On a heartbreaking note, the beautiful grey duiker taken to CROW after being rescued from a devastating sugar cane fire in Port Shepstone has died.
“On arrival, our dedicated team discovered severe burns on her ears, a swollen face, and painful wounds on her leg joints. Despite our best efforts, her injuries were too severe, and she sadly died,” said Govender.
She said that at CROW, they never turn away any wild animal, and these heartwrenching stories are part of the reality they face daily.
As a non-profit organisation, CROW is dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating, and releasing injured, orphaned, or displaced wild animals. They rely solely on donations to continue their vital work in wildlife conservation.
