Let me tell you about a one-legged house crow I encountered. One day, while I was walking around the garden with my camera, I thought it would be wise to keep it handy, as we often have new arrivals and visitors. It's always better to have a camera ready than to rush back to the house to get it!

I captured some interesting photos, and when I reached the front of the garden, where we have many chikoo (sapota) trees, every day, several birds enjoy their breakfast early in the morning. The fruits that had fallen on the ground were likely due to the bats feeding at night.
That day, there were no birds in sight except for one crow eating fruit. At first, I didn’t pay much attention from a distance, but as I got closer to the tree, I noticed that the crow was jumping instead of walking or flying. Using my lens to get a better look, I discovered that the crow had only one leg and was managing quite well despite that.

After taking a few photos, I attempted to get even closer, but being a wild bird, it kept its distance, jumping farther away. I realized the injury wasn’t recent; the crow either had been born with one leg or had lost it during a fight.

Over the next few days, we kept an eye on the crow and tried to feed it some leftover food. Indian crows typically consume all kinds of food that they found around. our garden has plenty of fruits, dry coconuts and water for every birds. We tried to protect it from other birds, cats, and dogs.

After a week, we had to leave, and we don’t know how the crow fared thereafter. My gardener is not very kind to birds or animals, so I hope the crow finds a way to survive. What do you think?
Thank you very much #featheredfriends community and all community leaders to giving us an opportunity to show some photos of bird.
Thank you for stopping by.

Birds look very beautiful, but nowadays, even those who are suffering from heat look worried. Living in our city in 40 degrees Celsius is not easy, be it humans or birds.

For 20 years, we have been birding, but never saw anything like this. This year, this one and another crow I saw with a broken wing.
I hope I took some photos of that if I find I will post it sure. Thank you for tips.
