I HAVE (or did have) two jackdaws in my garden every day, as we always feed the birds. However on Sunday last, they came as usual but one bird was badly hurt.

My son phoned four different places but because it was a Sunday everywhere was closed. That poor bird stayed in my garden all day with its mate trying to help it. But the next day the poor bird was dead, so why were we not able to get help? Its mate keeps coming to look for it.
