Despite all our best efforts at rehabilitation, regret to say that Greenwing died in the night.

His caws had become more and more feeble, We were treating him for a condition called splay leg which you can find out more about in the forums, but we think there was some underlying illness as well as he just got weaker and finally just slipped away, could have been pneumonia.

Very sad. I suppose this is one of the hardest things about rescueing baby birds that you are always going to lose some of them no matter what you do.

Special thanks to those who gave advice, Michelle, M & in particular Ari.
