Despite much love and attention, the rescued birds had the odds against them
WEST NIPISSING — On July 20, two osprey chicks were rescued in West Nipissing. Sadly, one was euthanized. The other clings to life within a ventilator, but caretakers continue to hope for the best.
One bird jumped from the nest to the ground, and the other was removed from the nest. Municipal Law Enforcement Officer, Pat Rainville, brought the two birds to the Springer Animal Hospital in Sturgeon Falls. The two chicks spent the night there receiving care, and the next day, Rainville brought them to a wildlife rescue and rehabilitation centre – the Turtle Pond Wildlife Centre in Val Caron, within Greater Sudbury.
The young osprey who jumped from the next was in better shape than his sibling, who was in the nest longer. Each bird was brought to the vets at different times. The one who jumped made it there about an hour before the other one, thanks to Rainville. The little osprey who jumped, she believed was electrocuted and perhaps was jolted from the pole because of this. “We tried medical treatment” before the decision to euthanize was made, “but he had lost the circulation in one foot. Three digits were dead, and we knew it was obvious that there was no going back from that.”
