A New South Wales wildlife rescuer says she had to get creative to rehabilitate a badly hurt white-faced heron named Herriot in her care recently.
abc.net.au/news/wildlife-rescuer-helps-heron-walk-again-with-underpants-sling/102788020Wildlife rescuer Karen Ledger has rescued "thousands" of birds in the past decade but when she encountered a heron that couldn't use its legs, she needed to get creative.
"The only thing I could think of was to get a pair of my husband's undies and make a temporary sling with a pair of stockings." "I put the heron in the sling and physically made him use his legs three or four times a day until he could walk by himself," she said."It was fairly intense but worth every minute to see him walking by himself eventually."
