The bird was given a full exam and apart from being slightly dehydrated, it was found to be in good health. These little birds are often brought into the centre with concussions from flying into windows or glass doors. Thankfully this little one is flying well and should be released within the next few days, granting it a free and sustainable life in the wild.

“We treat indigenous wildlife free of charge, relying solely on the support of our community. If you would like to become a member of our elite “One Thousand One Hundred Club” and donate as little as R100 per month, you can help us give thousands of injured and orphaned wildlife a second chance at a free life back in the wild,” said CROW’s marketing and communications officer, Lana Bartholomew.
