i got a call today about a young? Raven seen down beside the road walking.
It was reported they seemed to be limping, or that something was wrong with a wing.
It was half an hour later when we met where the Raven had been, & there was no sign of him.
Then i spotted him walking uphill beside the road.
The caller followed him while i brought the rescue gear closer.
He walked into the woods & bush, only walking, using his beak to get past things.
His beak was held open like he was panting or stressed.
We lost him, then spotted him again, heading towards a more open & grassy area.
We decided this wasn*t right, this guy needed capture.
So i circled round to the far side & came back at him that way.
He just tucked himself low into some brush & lay down.
i was able to hold him down with the towel & cover his head, then unentangle the towel from the brush.
He put up no struggle, he just went limp.
We were able to get him into the small carrier, the bottom lined with a towel.
i used the capture towel to cover the carrier.
He scurried around when i moved the carrier, but otherwise was still & quiet.
i was able to find a ride for him to Buckley Bay, & MARS was sending someone down to meet the deliverer & pick up the Raven.
