Saved from the murder mittens of a neighbourhood cat that took swipes at it and injured its wing. Will await recovery before release, but it needs a name now!

Tupeck would be good but he's not a pecker!

Maybe a poll is required :p

What species is it?

I did some Googling and it appears to be a Wren, they have a nest in one of the three trees in the garden, whilst Robins and Sparrows share homes in the other trees. The singing and activity throughout the day is quite relaxing :cool:
 
Hmm I was referring to this when I said I Googled for similar looking birds:

Same beak shape, same plumage style, this one looks to be young though as it's smaller than 6", probably about 4" beak to tail. Ed She-wren is sleeping now else I'd go double check :p
 
No fluff nope. I expected better from a lord of potatoes!

I will put Ed She-wren as a tentative name in this case until species is known :D

Hmm weird it does autoplay for me but it's muted as per the above setting on Firefox :/

Starling would be a great bird buddy to have they sing some amazing songs and the videos I've watched on Dodo etc of people befriending them have great experiences to share!

 
I am not a shop :D

Bill is a good name to be fair, although he is not a duck, so doesn't have a bill, but maybe this is the cunning genius of such a name??
 
Just phoned the vet on my road to confirm it's ok to bring it in, they said they can take a look at it but can't offer any treatment, the best they would do in terms of treatment is put it down!!!! :mad:

So I'm gonna have them just inspect the wing and advise. If the wing is damaged beyond recovery then there's not much that can be done and I'll keep it as a home bird until the end. But if it's just damage that needs healing time then the dude will be free in no time.
