User's notes

There were other cockatoos present but this particular bird I first noticed (and previously posted) in August 2017. It is a regular visitor and the wound seemed to have healed well, though never completely healed over as some bone seems to be missing. This is the worst I have seen it. Not sure if it is doing this to itself but am surprised it has not died, if not from the wound but from infection. Wish I could do something for it.
