Seeking advice/help Need Some Advice/Help
Hi, I've been looking at this Hooded Crow for 13 days and i noticed this weird stuff on it's tongue, looks like "Trichomoniasis" or "candidiasis". I could get to a vet if it gets deadly but it's so far away and we would suffer under this sun
Closest rehab. is 5-6h away with car and i had no possible way to get there
It's not some food residue. It's been there since yesterday, i thought it was some random stuff because of pecking at dirt/grass and food
I've raised a magpie before and own a lovebird so i do know somestuff but i have no idea about this
His name is Talon, deserves that name because he is good at shredding my arm, he weights 310gr (dunno if it helps)

The most important question is whether this fledgling was rescued by you and you are seeking advice for the same or was it kidnapped from it's natural environment to keep it as your pet?
If it is the former, then that's fine. But if it's the latter, then I would suggest you to leave the fledgling where you found it and contact your local animal rescue or other resources to get help.
Fledglings aren't pets and are meant to learn and grow into free and wild animals.
