Arabian nights

Off to Qatar for work for the next two weeks....

Keadaan Tenat

Found a poor injured bird inside the sink of the male office toilet this morning. Its injury must be very critical, because the poor guy was breathing very heavily, very fast...and when I lifted it out of the sink, it didn't even struggle and could only manage a twitch here and there.

Phoned a nearby animal clinic, but they said they don't do birds, especially birds from the wild. They asked me to contact the zoo.

O_o

Poor guy...nothing much can be done now, except to make it more comfortable, with whatever I could find around the office...

(Apologies for the not-so-clear photos, they were taken with my mobile phone)

Its injury (circled in red in the photo below): big cut in its underbelly and its guts were spilling out. It could have knocked itself against something sharp, or injured from a fight with another bird, or...???



*sad*

Edit: It's about an hour and a half since I found the bird, and it's dead now.
