A Bird Story

Yesterday, a friend called me with an S.O.S. �His friend had just rescued a bird (didn’t say which type) off the street and was looking for a vet to treat it. Unfortunately, the vets he went to could not treat the bird (this is true because most vets do not have the proper medication for treating birds). So this friend asked for advice. His friend also wanted to get an adopter for the bird, so I presume the bird can’t be the ordinary sparrow, mynah or crow.

I made a few phonecalls and found out a few things which I’d like to share with you.

1. Adult birds have a tendency to commit suicide when captured, so quickly seek expert help for them.

2. The Bird Park in KL has the experts to handle birds. Send the bird there as soon as you can.

3. Chicks have a better chance of survival and may not have that suicide tendency.

This information was conveyed to the friend and he finally decided to send the bird to the UPM Vet Hospital.

We hope the bird is alright now.
