Wild Bird Fund(@wildbirdfund):This American black duck named Daisy was found entangled in kite string and hanging from a tree — one of so many entanglements this season! Her injuries were surprisingly minor considering what she’d endured: some bruising, a slight shoulder injury and a few damaged feathers. The bigger concern, we soon learned, was elevated lead toxicity. For this reason, she spent two weeks in our care receiving chelation therapy and recovering from her injuries. When she began flying out of our waterfowl pool, we knew it was time for her to go. Good luck out there, Daisy! We wish you a fruitful breeding season.🌼 🎥: Terra Tirapelli
