Tutter's "Leg-Up!"
"This is the one that hurts, Momma."
"But I can stand on it a little."
"And maybe even walk a little... if
you have a
treat!"
Thank you to all of Tutter's "Leg-Up"
supporters!
Tutter is on his feet and walking again
like he never stopped!
Prosthetic Bills
Although we have not yet had personal
experience utilizing prosthetic bills, we know of rescuers who have
and with great success. Should your duck or goose break their bill,
it is good to know that this option exists.
If your vet is unable to assist you with a
fitting, avian vets specializing in parrots, or rescuers of wild
raptors often know how to create a prosthetic bill. Start calling
around and asking for referrals. You will need to do some research
to find someone qualified and experienced to help.
Punctures or holes in the bill can be mended
pretty easily. Your vet will clean it out thoroughly and then fill
any holes utilizing dental acrylics. Your duck or goose will also be
placed on an antibiotic to prevent an infection (usually Baytril).
If your duck has a broken bill and a prosthetic
bill is required, as we understand it, if the break is jagged, it is
easier to fit with a prosthetic bill than if it is a clean break.
The prosthetic bill will not last forever and will need to be
replaced as it wears out or disengages.
If you have personal experience with prosthetic
bills, please contact us via email and let us know your story!
Abnormal Bill
Photos Needed!
We are looking for clear, close-up photos of ducks
and
geese who have misaligned, malformed, twisted or broken bills. For

Majestic Newcomers!
Many happy ducks and geese went off to join
their new families in February. This is wonderful news for our
feathered guests and even better news for those birds on our waiting
list. Take a look at our newcomers!
We have welcomed in a Pekin hen and a Crested
Pekin hen, Bindy & Tova.

We also were able to rescue two new geese, Mac
& Fanny, with the help of a wonderful and dedicated family in New
Haven, CT.
