CeeGee,

I found her at the side of the highway shaking her head in a slow rythum, malnurished and with very long tallons shaped more like a dogs nails than the strong pointy tallons you would expect to see on a wild bird. She did not have bumble foot. I thought she might have gotten caught in the turbulence behind a semi and knocked down.

That photo was taken after a day at the vet, she was not too happy. I was upset that they put her in that small crate without a perch. She had no broken feathers when I dropped her off but when I went to pick her up for transport to the proper rehab facility she had several tail feathers damaged at the tips. She was released four days later after being force fed with a tube to fatten her up. I saw her two days later perched in a tree in the same place where I found her.

RC-sport,

Doctor offices are using them now instead of Latex or you can get them by the box at a parts supply. Try auto zone or a HVAC supply. The last time I bought them they were $12.00 per hundred. If you put them on under your fingerless gloves you will be very happy!
