Dear Editor:
While driving along Wellington Road 18 at Gerrie Road recently, my husband and I spotted a crow with a bad wing.
My husband got out of the car with a blanket while I drove home to grab a cat carrier. Within 15 minutes, we’d managed to collect and contain the poor beauty.
We called the Guelph Humane Society (which assists orphaned/injured wildlife in our area) and were shocked to learn that they knew the crow we were calling about!
It turns out, a concerned woman had already attempted to catch the bird herself, but with no luck. So on the chance that this woman reads this paper as avidly as I do: I want you to know that the crow’s injury is considered treatable and they are now with a licensed wildlife rehabilitator — this is not a common outcome for wild birds with wing injuries.
Thank you so much for offering kindness to a fellow creature in need.
Shannon Kornelsen,
