After several phone calls to our veterinarian’s answering service, I finally got the new number for the Prince George’s Animal Management Facility. They came right away and picked up the bird. It had collapsed just before they arrived so I’m not sure if it will make it, but here are some photos Dennis took when he didn’t realize it was sick.
