RTH cam in NY

Violet could be given a chance to live. A 12 year old peregrine, Zephyr, living wild in South Bend, Indiana
with only one foot, adequately provides for himself and his family.  If Zephyr can kill and feed himself, then Violet should be able to do the same since Violet would be hunting ground prey rather than prey on the wing.
I am so praying Violet's "good" foot can be healed so she can have a chance to live.

WINORR- Wildlife In Need of Rescue and Rehabilitation

 We are extremely heart sick to have to announce to everyone that Violet has passed away . She came through the surgery very well . She woke up and was sitting up fluffing her feathers . All of a sudden she had a heart attack . the Vet did CPR on her for 20 minutes to no avail. xrays showed that at some point after her right foot had deteriorated , her left femur was broken . we don't know how she ever survived for as long as she did . We are somewhat relieved that at least Violet wasn't suffering alone somewhere . She was warm, peaceful and had a full belly and pain medication .We just couldn't get her in time .

Condolences to all about Violet.  Glad to hear that she
was warm, peaceful and had a full belly.  It is hard not
to shed tears.  My hugs to all.

  I was afraid she wasn't going to make it but I'm thankful her suffering is over!

Looking at those pictures of her damaged talons. It's a miracle she survived as long as she did.  It just goes to show you the will to live is so strong.  Poor girl.  She's free now.

We are going to have a plaque made in honor and memory of Violet. we would like to bring her back to her park and place her at the tree where we were able to finally get her . We will let everyone know once we get all the details settled . We want to thank everyone with all our hearts for the amazing support and kind words . It has been very helpful to us . We are so heartbroken from all of this and it is comforting to know you all cared so much for Violet and for us . Thank you again, Cathy and Bobby
