 ===== The Long Way of Recovery ===== ===== The Long Way of Recovery =====
  
-We managed to stabilise Bianca and treated successfully her wounds. The most difficult task was to give her the reassurance and safety she desperate sought. Bianca was obviously not able to use her eyes, and was essentially blind. We found out quite quickly that the only way to keep her calm was for her to be as close as possible to us. Physical contact, gentle touch and calm voices were the key. And so she stayed with us day and night for several weeks. We managed to safe one of her eyes. The other eye remained unfortunately permanently damaged.+We managed to stabilise Bianca and treated successfully her wounds.

 After Bianca made a good recovery, she bonded with another lost soul, a rescued crested archangel pigeon we named Merlot. Both birds lived happily together until July 2018, when Merlot passed away peacefully in his sleep, next to Bianca. Both birds were incredibly caring foster parents. Despite her loss, we decided to introduce Bianca to our small feral pigeon flock. She accepted the challenge and adapted very well to the new environment. After a few months of grieving she bonded with Marcus, a disabled feral pigeon. Bianca is fully independent, despite her visual impairment. It fills us with much joy, when we see her being happy and content again enjoying the life with Marcus, and when she comes to us for the occasional cuddle. After Bianca made a good recovery, she bonded with another lost soul, a rescued crested archangel pigeon we named Merlot.
