He was very emaciated, but that wasn\u2019t his major problem. His feathers were really strange; we had never seen anything like it.<\/p>\n<p>Some people thought he was molting, others thought he was a young bird and just growing feathers. The ATW staff thought the feathers had been singed by a fire but couldn\u2019t figure out why his feet weren\u2019t burned or how it happened.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-11101\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/red-tailed-hawk-healthy-atw-202211-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"red-tailed hawk with new feathers perched in outdoor cage\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/red-tailed-hawk-healthy-atw-202211-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/red-tailed-hawk-healthy-atw-202211-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/red-tailed-hawk-healthy-atw-202211-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/red-tailed-hawk-healthy-atw-202211.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>To get the hawk back up to normal weight, we fed him <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">EmerAid IC Carnivore<\/a> twice a day by tubing the liquid nourishment down his throat. The diet seemed to work, because it wasn\u2019t long before he was strong enough to go into an outside cage.<\/p>\n<p>The mystery of what had scorched off his feathers was solved by a local wildlife rehabilitator. The culprit had been a landfill methane burner. According to an article we found on the Internet entitled <a href=\"https:\/\/www.keepingcompanywithkestrels.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/Methane-Burner-Impacts-on-Raptors.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Methane Burner Impacts on Raptors<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cMany industries use burners to flare off unwanted gasses. For example, solid waste landfills may burn off unwanted methane gas produced by decomposing organic matter&#8230;. Methane is typically burned away using either a flare-up or an enclosed flare&#8230;. Birds perched on or flying near a stack can be seriously injured or killed when a flare suddenly ignites. In some cases, birds may fly over or even through an almost invisible burner flame.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>We named the red-tail hawk Phoenix, because he had risen from the ashes. Unusually white, the staff researched and concluded he was a Krider\u2019s red-tailed hawk, a pale color morph of the red-tailed hawk.<\/p>\n<p>From the time Phoenix arrived in rehabilitation in February 2022, it took him 7 months to molt and re-grow new, healthy feathers. But when he did, he was a beautiful hawk and took to the skies above Waco while we shouted an admonition to stay away from the landfill.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A red-tailed hawk with mysteriously burned feathers gets help from All Things Wild Rehabilitation to overcome his injuries and soar back to the wild.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":11101,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
