A little black-capped chickadee came to VINS last month with a drooping wing. While we couldn’t detect a specific fracture, we wrapped the bird’s wing to stabilize it, in case there was a small broken bone.
Within a month, the wrap had been removed, the wing was sitting normally along the bird’s body, and this chickadee was flying all over our aviary and ready to check out!
Watch a video of this bird’s release!
