All About Arnie
Name/s: | Arnie |
Species: | Feral Pigeon |
History: | Arnie had been hanging around in a garden for a couple of weeks unable to fly well. |
Diagnosis: | On examination we found a deep puncture wound on Arnie’s shoulder, probably caused by a cat. This had gotten very infected and the area was inflamed. We were able to treat the wound but there seems to have been some permanent nerve or muscle damage. Arnie flies quite well but not well enough for release unfortunately. After about a year living the bachelor life in the aviary, Arnie fell instantly in love with Hallie when she moved in and the two are now a bonded couple. |
Sex: | Male |
Age: | Unknown but we would estimate he was born in 2013 |
