Residents urged to help cockatoo tracking project

A COCKATOO shot in Forestville had to be put down because of its injuries, vet staff said.
The bird was brought into Allambie Vet Clinic last month after it was found walking around a backyard.
The bird was originally thought to have a wing injury and was unable to fly.
The bird was rehomed, but later taken to Northern Districts Veterinary Hospital which found metal pellets in the bird's shoulder, believed from a BB gun.
Northern Districts head nurse Lisa Milham said the bird was unable to fly because the shots had fractured its shoulder.
