This handsome fella (?) was brought to us a few weeks ago after (s)he was found hopping around a cul-de-sac in eastern TN with apparent wing, leg and eye injuries. At first, our vets suspected possible HPAI (bird flu) or a possible run-in with a vehicle. 3 weeks in, (s)he's perching much better and seems to especially enjoy his/her catered meals brought in by students and staff. Because most of our patients are truly wild, we don't often get to care for patients who actually seem to enjoy their time with us. But we're expecting a 5-star review from this patient if he ever decides to check out of his suite and return to the skies. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
