Anyhoo, armed with this conviction I called the local "Bird Man" told him I had a baby crow and he promptly told me to head off to get myself some "Ox Heart", little lady - aaaaargh.
A couple of days passed, little man was eating well and drinking from a dropper. However, as the temperature dropped with this rain, he started to cheep a lot, and seemed to be getting distressed.
We had also decided that I was possibly wrong - Never, I said ! But I did start Googling again to try and find out what this awesome little creature was. Frustrated and worried I decided to drop past the bird man and show him in person, and find out finally what type of bird this was. Are you ready??
He is a Curwail ??? So I asked, from the Quail family? We had some thoughts that it could be. When I went home to Google Curwail, I couldn't find any type of quail to that name. I now think he was just pronouncing the word "Quail" to me so I could understand - hmmmmm. So I think its a Brown something or other quail - but I am pretty sure its a quail ???
The Bird Man has our little man (at least we have called it a boy) now, and I cried my eyes out when I dropped him off. I can be such a sook ,but he was so amazingly beautiful and cute. We will be visiting him, to make sure he is ok.
Any assistance or suggestions will be most welcomed xx
