In April, we had a Barred Owl come to us from Boundry road. They had been hit by a car. We did some basic treatments to ease pain, and sent them down to O.W.L in Delta because they are professionals with Raptors. Today, they came back to us for release all fixed up! O.W.L is an amazing organization with skilled and very educated staff.
This Owl did have a mate with it when we picked him up. Hopefully they will find each other again. Keep watch on the page here for the release video tonight. They will be released just before sundown, exactley where they were found 4 months ago. ❤️🦉

After a couple months of recovery, learning to forage and fly, it was time to set these sweethearts free. We release at Cottonwood Island Park because there are many other gulls in the area.

Be safe little ones, its been a slice ❤️

If you like tattoos and Crows, this is the event for you!
We want to thank Darker Daze Tattoo for their continued support of the rescue. You are amazing, wonderful people ❤️

As most of you are aware, Good Caws Crow Rescue is very near and dear to our hearts here at Darker Daze.
We would like to raise the funds to get Dayna into a dedicated van for the rescue. After sinking thousands into her personal vehicle out of pocket for repairs to keep her operating, this just won't do for us.
Please join us on September 27th for a day of (included but not limited to) sweet corvid themed tattoos to kick off the start of spooky season, and get Dayna into a good, reliable vehicle before the snow flies.
Doors will be at 12pm, first come first tattooed.
18+ NO MINORS
CASH ONLY

Tell your corvid and wildlife loving friends. Come down to the shop, learn about the rescue, and support your local murder!

Viewer descretion advised for this video.

This is something I've been wanting to post about for a while, but I found it difficult to find a way to get the point across.

This video shows an unfortunate reality the rescue is dealing with this year. In the 6 years we've been operating, we have never had so many birds unintentionally high on drugs that have been spilled ,or left behind, by people downtown.
Maybe one it two in a year in previous years.
Now it's 2 or 3 a week. What's happening to the birds downtown is a silent crisis that just the rescue has seen, and it's getting worse.

Now, it's time for the public to see this, too.
It's not just people being affected.

Yesterday was quite the rescue. I got a message in the morning about a bird making noise in a chimney. The house owner had been on vacation for some time, so we didn't know how long the bird had been down there.

We had no way of reaching the ird from where it was, so we investigated underneath the house in a crawl space. And there, rusted shut was a small hatch. The only viable way to get this bird out. The home owner insisted on being the one to crawl under. She was determined to rescue this bird. So under she went and I held a light for her and helped direct getting the hatch open.

With a two hammers a butterknife and brute force, the rusted hatch came loose and out came a tired, barely alive little flicker. He was cold and skinny. Hanging on by a thread. We cleaned him up so he could breath something other than soot, and I tucked him into my shirt to keep him warm.

I did everything I could to keep this little one alive, but he was to weak, and had been in there for to long. He passed away a few hours later.

But instead of dying alone, cold and in the dark, he was given the dignity of being warm, clean, safe and in the sunlight. And for this situation, that is a win. Sometimes providing a comfortable, dignified death is all we can do.

⭐️Riven Update⭐️

Here are some of the photo updates I've been getting from all you wonderful people ❤️ I absolutely love how the community has come together for this bird. Watching her, offering her food, sending updates, and just loving her for defying odds every single day. She is a symbol of the strength and tenacity this city has, as well as the kindness and caring the people living here can show for our local wildlife. Some of us have found hope in this bird.
Please keep sending updates so we can watch and track her to ensure she stays safe and healthy ❤️❤️🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛💪

⭐️Update⭐️

I'm sure you remember that sad story of the little gull we took in that had been used as toilet paper, literally used as toilet paper. We lovingly named them "Charmin" because if we don't find a way to lighten the horrible situations we see daily, we'd break.

The little one is doing well! They're with three other gulls here at the rescue. They're all learning to forage and fly, and I expect a group release within a couple of weeks. Charmin is growing up fast and strong. And the indignities they suffered seem to be long forgotten. I've never seen such a joy filled little gull.

Keep watch on this page for the release!

MIGRATION IS HERE!

Now more than ever is the time for responsible cat ownership. Hundreds of thousands of birds will be coming through our city over the next couple of months, with their young in tow.
Cats are the biggest killer of wild birds in the world, killing millions in Canada every year, and billions world wide.
Cats carry a bacteria called Pasturella, and it is deadly to small animals, resulting in a painful death within 24 hours, even if its just a small scratch or lick.
Many people say that what cats do is natural, but its not. Cats are an invasive species here in North America, and they are not natural to our environment at all. Allowing your cat to kill at will outside is not nature, its gross negligence, and irresponsibility.

Please keep your cats inside this migration season or use a catio. Even taking your cat outside on a harness for supervised walks is ok.
Cat owners need to understand and accept the responsibility of owning an animal that destroys our natural environment on a profound level and causes suffering to so many other creatures.

Thank you for listening to my Crow talk.
