Wild Buzzard!!!!!!!!!

[Joycey 20]

Well i understand what all of you are saying, but being a falconer my self i will not knock this buzzard on the head unless i feel the need to do so..ie: it starts to deteriorate or can not be released back into the wild..

but things are changing with it, i got home from work yday and the buzzard had been eating the rabbit i left in its flyte so that is a good sign, plus its going to the vets later for a check up, so if all goes well il give it a week or so to feed it up then i will release it..

that story was ubelivable and he had the authority in the first place, the rspca said they xrayed all the rabbits for lead shot :icon_eek:

When you take the buzzard to the vets get him to make a statment of the birds condition. As to if the bird could survive in the wild at the present.

Forgetting for a second that Buzzards are dirty b*****ds.

 

 

Don't give it up to the RSPCA, they will kill it quicker than much else, because they no feck all about them.

 

Get it to a BOP sanctury and out your hair.

Glad to hear its doing well! I must admit Id of tried to nurse it back to health too if I couldn't get it to a sanctuary. Love wild birds of prey, I'm lucky i'm not too far from two BOP places now, had to drop in a barn owl last year I found looking very confused at the side of the road.
