Injured Chaffinch








On the 13th of july i came across an injured chaffinch on a path. Took it home to have a better look at it, and to see how bad or not it was injured. The only one i could see was its eye.









Put it somewhere quiet with some food and water and checked on it from time to time. After 24 hours it seem to be doing a lot better and had been eating, which was good news indeed.













It was able to fly around where i kept it in a room and seemed quite happy to be having a flitter. Still eating and drinking rather well, a very good sign of recovery.





On the third day it was really flying around and its eye had cleared up of its injury. Was then that i decided that it would not be fair to keep it any longer. I duly opened up the window, and after a moment or two flew out. Was good to know that i could help this bird.
