There was a determination that Garrama had a spinal defect and he was euthanised today. No more information coming.
I know that you are beyond sad. Every year it feels like there is one healthy eyas and one that doesn’t make it. At our wildlife rehab, the new vet is not euthanising. She is watching to the extent that wildlife can adapt and that includes 3-legged deer, turtles, foxes, etc. I imagine she would have trained Garrama to see what he could do. I am sorry he did not get that chance.
Soar high little one. You gave us all so much happiness.
Thank you to Holly Parsons and to the Charles Sturt Falcon Cam.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

I am still numb and now I fear that Yira is dead.
