Does anyone have the number for the association who deal with injured birds of prey please.

Sorry I have deleted the number but I was given it by Pertev the vet in Girne, so try him if no other reply

Thanks. I have tried pertev but no answer. I called petcross and they gave me a number but it's no longer valid. Am desperate for a valid number if anyone has it. We have an eagle with a broken wing and want it to receive attention before it dies.

Try the search post in 'pets and animals' above for ? Muscar (I think). This organisation is dedicated to the preservation of wild birds here and there are contact details.

Kuskor is the "North Cyprus Society for the Protection of Birds and Nature"

Erol, thanks for the correction and links.

I have just noticed the Kuskor site has a specific section for people to use to "REPORT AN INJURED BIRD" via which is here

http://www.kuskor.org/report.html

always up for helping an injured bird or helping others to help such if I can.

Speaking of birds and cyprus can I use this thread to encourage people to sign the online petition here

hmm - looks like I just did.

Just signed.

Kuskor are aware and have given advice on how to keep it alive until it can be taken to the vet tomorrow.

That is encouraging news we really hope this magnificient bird can be nursed back to health & good luck with its care.

Thank you for the contacts. I spoke to Damla at Kuskor who was very helpful and gave me some tips on how to care for it over night. Fortunatley i didnt have to do that as the bird has actually been collected by a lovely prof at Near East Vet Dept who will take it there in the morning. It was actually a buzzard.. (we obviously don't know our birds of prey!) Fingers crossed it makes it.

Erol....signed, the mindless slaughter of songbirds is catastrophic

Brighton Dot, well done to you for all you have done, I just hope he/she survives

Well done, indeed!

Thanks in anticipation of you keeping us informed as to the buzzard's progress - I, for one, hope you will!

Well done you, hope it survives and lives to fly another day.

Update on the progress of this buzzard - Wayne Fuller collected it and took it to NEU's veterinary department which deals with injured wild animals. It does not have a broken wing - but it couldn't fly because if has parasitic condition of its blood. This is being treated by the vets there and should make a full recovery if the condition can be eradicated but as you can imagine this is not an easy process... let's all hope this beautiful bird can be saved.

Thanks for update Groucho, so lucky no broken bones & hopefully parasitic blood condition can be treated
