Camera Critters Sunday -- Rogers Wildlife Rehab

Believe it or not, this IS the continuation of the pigeon rescue post from yesterday. Scroll down for more photos and details!


Researching proper care and nutrition for a wounded pigeon convinced me that I was not up to the task. So I researched more and found this jewel.



Above is the hospital building where I took the injured pigeon. It was quickly determined that she/he had a broken elbow and a broken shoulder. But the prognosis is wonderful! They can wrap the wing to the bird in such a way that it will properly heal and they expect a full recovery and release back to the wild. AWESOME! For those birds who cannot be returned to the wild, they have a wonderful permanent home here!
This must be their Intensive Care Unit.
As you'll see when you check their website (see link below), they work with schools and other groups, spreading the knowledge and respect of wildlife.

Rogers Wildlife Rehabilitation Center is just south of Dallas in Hutchins. They take in all injured or orphaned feathered friends. If they can survive in the wild after their rehabilitation, they are released. If not, they have a wonderful home here! Be sure to check out their website. They are a non-profit and receive no funds from the government. They depend on volunteers and donations to keep doing their marvelous work. I spent an hour walking around the grounds and was completely impressed by everything I saw. They have everything from pigeons to raptors, water fowl to peacocks. The volunteers I met were very friendly, very dedicated and very skilled. I have more pictures to post tomorrow, so please come back! See more pictures at my other two blogs: Gun Barrel City Daily Photo and Corsicana Daily Photo.
