A flyer with a concussion. A goshawk being examined by a vet.

The other day a girl wrote to me, asking to help a bird that landed on her balcony and didn't want to fly away. The bird turned out to be a young male goshawk, who missed his prey and crashed into the glass. Yegor helped me pick up the injured bird. The next day, I took the hawk to be examined at the "Golden Fleece" vet clinic in Lyubertsy by our avian vet Maria Markina.
At the same time, Maria examined a tawny owl that got hit by a train.
There is every chance that the hawk will recover, as long as there are no heart complications after the impact, but the owl's prognosis is not so reassuring: a compression fracture of three cervical vertebrae may not allow her to survive.
Many thanks to all those who care and transfer money! These amounts are used to pay for the examinations, treatment and food for the birds that need help. You are wonderful people!
