Description
Marcel was found on the ground in the last week of july after a very stormy night,after ringing aa 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. seems to be going well,from physical appearance viewpoint but im not so sure that he is finding the crossover back to his roots,so to speak as easy as it is to get me to feed him.whilst visiting today he accidentally revealed two of his "stashes",a piece of chicken liver covered in ants from an earlier meal along with a small ball of aluminium foil from last week and is not happy at anyone knowing where things things are,today he looks more like a black chicken at times in parts of this clip.it looks as though the two adult birds have moved to another nest several houses away from what has been observed and home owners have yet to see any other young ravens in the yard although the adults still frequent the tree.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.because 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.
