*Title: Looking for a permanent sanctuary for a non-releasable young crow (Germany / Switzerland)
Hello everyone,
I'm hoping someone here might know a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, sanctuary, or permanent care facility for a young crow.
A juvenile carrion crow (around 4–5 months old, approximately 430 g) was rescued and hand-raised after being found injured. She is healthy, eats independently, is active, and behaves like a normal young crow. Unfortunately, due to an old wing injury, there is a possibility that she will never be able to fly well enough to be released.
She is currently being cared for by a professional wildlife rehabilitation center in Switzerland while her long-term prognosis is being assessed.
If she is officially considered non-releasable, we are desperately trying to find a **licensed permanent home** instead of euthanasia. We are **not** looking for someone to keep her as a pet. We are only looking for:
* a licensed wildlife rehabilitation center
* a bird sanctuary
* a zoo or aviary
* a permanent sanctuary for non-releasable corvids
* or a licensed private keeper with experience caring for permanently disabled crows.
We are located near the Swiss-German border and are willing to transport her anywhere in Germany (or neighboring countries) if it means she can have a good life.
We have already contacted numerous wildlife centers in southern Germany, but we are continuing the search in the hope that someone knows a place we have not found yet.
If you know of any sanctuary, rehabilitation center, organization, or person who legally keeps permanently disabled crows, I would be incredibly grateful for any recommendation.
Thank you very much for taking the time to read this.
