One of the birds we’re looking after is Xander. He was found over Christmas with human hair wrapped around his leg, which created a deep wound and his foot was nearly dead, he could not put weight on it.

My wife the wound nurse removed all the hair, the vet placed him on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory meds, and we clean the wound every third day.

Meanwhile he can put weight on it and walk around with it again, and soon he can go to Måkevakta’s facilities where he can swim.

I'm not sure if it's possible to donate to Spleis from outside of Norway.

I might make some of my crow pictures available for digital download to sponsor this little man as well 🫶🏻

I've been feeding his family for almost 4 years, since the start of the pandemic. They're family at this point, doing our best to help him through this 🥹

One of the neighborhood crows, Teddy, was found with an injury on his foot, and is currently going through rehabilitation (at our place).

We're hopeful he'll pull through, but he'll need a few vet visits and possibly also surgery on his toe.

Donations for the vet are more than welcome 🖤👇🏻

(in Norwegian, sorry)

Teddy og Kra-kra

Alle pengene vil brukes for å dekke utgiftene for veterinærtimen og medisiner, samt kost og losj til fuglene våre.

Probably only relevant for folks in #Norway, but if you have some kroners left despite this economy, Måkevakta would really appreciate your support for vet expenses.

They’re a local gull (and other sea/water bird) rehabilitation center, completely volunteer driven 🫶🏻

I’ve been helping out with taking care of the birds the past months, and yesterday I caught gull Victoria, who we suspect was shot by someone and had to go to the vet today for x-rays 🤒

Victoria og Martin

Alke pengene vil gå til veterinærutgifter, medisiner, kost og losji for måkene.

Noah has been delivered to rehab and renamed to Jumpy because they already had a Noa 🫣

He was doing a lot better today, jumped on the bath tub and followed along with what we were up to. Good luck little Jumpy-man 🫡

There was yet another sick gull in our street.

On Monday I caught one and drove it to gull rehab, and today I helped catch a second one, who’s currently resting in my bathtub until a spot at rehab becomes available for him 🥹

Meet Noah 💕

obligatory "first snow of the season"-post ⛄️
had to feed the neighbourhood birds on the balcony today cause a kid was harassing them at their usual feeding spot 😠
the neighborhood gull feeder is on vacation so I’m taking over the daily feeding this month 🥹
meanwhile in Norway:
