Chewey and you and all were VERY lucky! It could have ended another way. I would have thought her canal was open enough after the other eggs.
I know Bonnie, the vet it could have been tragic. The egg turned sideways, that's why she couldn't push it out. He said he almost lost a Parrot Monday night for the same thing. Wow, so out in the wild when this happens, they end up paralyzed or dead! Unbelievable.

OMG, couldn't they keep her as an educational bird? Give her to CPF!! Put her down for what? Don't let Mark Nash hear about this! I'm shocked!  Actually I think Mark and Marion might agree with them, depending on the bird in question. I used to feel the same way until they explained to me how once wild birds do in captivity. Marion told me that you can see in their eyes that somehow the life has gone out of them. That's why they prefer to use imprinted birds for the education program, they raise them from babies and the birds don't know anything else so they thrive. A biologist out west that I correspond with also said the same thing, she's been working with wild birds for over 20 years and said most of them don't make good educational birds because they miss being free. If they didn't care about S2, they wouldn't be doing all they could to save her but quality of life is just as important for a falcon as it is for a human in my humble opinion. Wow, that so makes sense Carly. Funny, we don't really see a birds point of view here, just our own. Unfortunately, a lunatic human did this to her. I feel so bad for her after all she's been through. She came a long way since first spotted in DeMortel.

i'll contribute--just tell me how
They have a while before they get the final word on S2. I hope that if she can fly and heal well enough, they just let her go, far far from DeMortel. She wouldn't stand a chance with the new BIG female, if that's who Pa has chosen. Scary to think what may happen. I believe they already collected donations for her care. That was nice chlosmom!
