Charlie
Charlie is the perfect example of why Sara’s Sanctuary was created and what we strive to achieve with all the animals that find their way to our door. With patience, persistence and a lot of love, every one of them has a very happy story!
Charlie came to us from a very caring person in California. He had been trying to raise this crow in his kitchen for over a year. Although, he obviously loved this crow, he knew Charlie needed more specialized care than he would be able to provide. So he brought him to here to our Sanctuary. Charlie had no tail or wing feathers. We called him “Bumble Bee” because he and would fly straight up and drop back down, he couldn’t balance or even sit upright on a perch. We needed to build a cage that would help to keep him from continually falling on his back. We added different sized ladders and ramps so he could learn to balance himself. After a few months he eventually was able to walk down onto the grass where he finally conquered his fear of open spaces. (more…)
