Last Friday, waterfowl steward Chris was going along the riverside walk when a lady and young lad were stood on a corner holding a pigeon; perplexed as what to do to help the distressed bird. The pigeon was bleeding from a bulbous right foot ~ and had lost a clawed digit.
Animal rescue champ Paul picked up the pigeon from Wroxham Launch Hire cabin at King's Staithe ~ he was already in transit to Horning to deliver an injured pigeon to Carol, who is a busy gardener by profession.
Carol's diagnosis ~ "Had a look and it's a bit grim, but probably seen worse unfortunately. I've cut one very deep piece of line and covered it in neem oil which is really good for this sort of thing plus his painkillers. Lots of bleeding too."
Suzy is part of Lapwing education, a bespoke therapeutic education provider working across Norfolk, Suffolk and Essex who provide education programmes for young people not in education, employment or training.
Suzy said ~ "Thank you again for Friday, it was an exceptional experience for us all. We shared the experience across our organisation and have inspired some of our youngsters to think more carefully and kindly about our wildlife. I'm hoping me and Harrison can get more involved... he was so proud of himself."
