Birds that were helped in 2010

2010 was another busy season at the Bird Center. These are just a few of the birds we helped.

This juvenile Great Blue Heron was admitted on July 23 by the Humane Society of Huron Valley’s Cruelty and Emergency department. It could not fly due to soft tissue damage to its right wing. The bird is eating live minnows and goldfish as well as dead smelt and sardines.
Great Blue Herons are very wary birds and sensitive to stressful activity and sounds. To keep it as peaceful as possible, it is being kept in its very own bathroom and walk-in shower in an ultra quiet household.

This female duck arrived with a badly healed broken leg and other health problems. She has been successfully treated and released.
She and a Canada goose were taken to a wonderful pond at the home of a man who has been raising waterfowl since he was nine years old.
