Description
Marcel on the third day after being found, at night he slept in a makeshift nest which sat inside a unused cane type hanging basket layered with lavender/rosemary to deter mites. here he is being fed scrambled eggs[ with the ground shell mixed in] the reason for whistling whilst feeding him is because these birds are excellent mimics i am hoping that that he will pick it up,along with the phrase " birdy num num "from the peter sellers movie the party
Marcel was found on the ground in the last week of july after a very stormy night after ringing a few places i was instructed to take him to specific vet surgery where i was advised that he was a raven,healthy,unlikely to have fallen to ground & he was a fledgling & " should be returned to where he was found his parents will look after him ".
unfortunately this was not the case and it was 4/5 days before the parents came near him,he also had a talon missing from a rear toe that became quite swollen & infected in the weeks that followed needing treatment,it was paw paw ointment that cleared it up after having no success with other conventional treatments.Although the only sure fire way to accurately identify the gender of a raven is by blood/dna test Marcel has been declared a male for a number of reasons with the primary one coming from my 15 yr old daughter who has declared that " that bird has to be a male.its just so annoying " fortunately she avoids Marcel otherwise he might think his name is/was " stupid bird " admittedly the poor kid was swooped by a maggie as a five year old & it appears that it has left her quite scarred.
