My prayers are being sent Baby’s way…Baby is a soul…regardless of them being a ‘menace’…every animal has purpose, and every life deserves help.
I’m sure hoping someone helps Baby…breaks my heart that they are injured. For now I take solace that they are safe in your care.
Please keep us updated.

I just read that about his claw, poor thing. Is it too tight to cut it or loosen it?

April, just watched this guy help a pigeon with string on it’s foot.
I hope a vet will help though.

Its too tight. And it keeps retracking its leg up into its body. Its leg is so tiny im worried I’m going to squeeze to hard. It needs to be cut with scissors and I cant put scissors near it coz it keeps flinching. It needs a vet that confident with its hands. I feel like I’m going to break baby its so tiny

Oh, then the video probably won’t help much.
Random thought, I wonder if you put like Vaseline on it you could loosen it, if the vet visit falls through.

That’s a good idea. I can massage abit of paw paw balm into it to soften its hold from the leg. I watched the video. It was helpful. I will buy a tiny pair of nail clipper scissors and try again.

So I just got back from a few local vets and not one person would help Me. Every vet said they would take it of me because it classified as wildlife. Not a single vet with any human compassion… So I went and bought tiny scissors and a new tube of paw paw ointment, its natrual and paw paw is fruit so I figured it won’t harm it… I will try find a neighbour to help me hold it while I attempt to get it off. Its foots changing color so I think its serious.

That’s really sad that none of those vets have any compassion. Just like Angela, I wish I were closer to help you.

OMG I DID IT!!! it took me about half an hour to get off but its off its leg… I had to use mini nail scissors and tweezers. It was so tightly stuck inbetween its swollen foot that I just had to keep picking at it slowly. At first baby squawked and squeezed when I grabbed it. But once it realised what I was doing it relaxed and didn’t fight me… The only time it cried was when I had to pull out a bit that was stuck in its skin. My hands would not stop shaking and I could feel its tiny heart beat beating so fast. You know how a dog whimpers when it Cry’s? Baby was doing the faintest little whimper it was breaking my heart to hear. Then at the end when I’d finished I slowly opened my palms and it didn’t fly away , it just layed there in a ball, I thought I had squashed it, it took about ten seconds for it to gather its self and fly out of my hand… It went straight for the window. I had it closed till I could see it wasn’t limping any more , it wasnt, so I opened the window and let it fly out… So now I wait to see if baby is now traumatised from me operating on it and dosnt come back , or if it comes back and is happy and thankful it was made all better… Stay time tuned to see what happens next I so glad I got it off myself. I hope its leg isnt infected… I will keep an eye on it if it comes back

Oh I am so thankful that Baby found you…That was a brave thing to stay the course and remove that string. I could hear the relief in your words…my prayer is Baby returns and is feeling better. I can’t believe no vet was willing to help that poor soul…how they can say they care for animals and not care about that innocent bird is hypocritical and inhumane!
I’m glad they didn’t take Baby from you…what rotten people.
Thank you for being such an angel for Baby!

Omg!! My heart was beating so fast just reading this. You are absolutely amazing!! You saved Baby’s life. Even if Baby doesn’t come back atleast you can go on knowing Baby is no longer in pain because of you.
Now I can go to sleep knowing Baby is gonna be ok.

My thoughts exactly. I just had to have a long hot shower to calm down. It was so emotional that I burst Into tears in the shower realizing that its going to OK now. I felt like I was doing heart surgery it was that intense… Do you remember that kids board game from the 80s called “operation” ? Where you had to get bits out of the body without touching the sides with the metal tongs or it will beep really loud? I felt like I was 7 years old again playing that game and if I pulled the string to hard or grabbed baby’s skin by accident it would squeel!!! … You know what crossed my mind after it was over, if I was still drinking or using, there is no way I would of Been calm enough to have done that. Not in a million Years. So ultimately me being clean and sober has helped baby

Yes, this is exactly what I was thinking when reading your post but thought you’d be too young to remember that game. 
Being clean and sober was definitely the main factor in all this. You saved a life, April!! I’m so fucking proud of the way you handled this entire situation. Next time you get an urge to use, come back and read what you did here.
