It’s not just thread... This bird had a hair problem. Hair is remarkeble resiliant and can last centurys. It doesn’t take that long to squeeze off a good toe though.

Something not right about this one
It has hair wrapped tightly around a toe
This looks easy - I'll have this hair off in a jiffy
Sedita baits - I grab.
Mmmm, this is worse than it looks...
It's wound so incredibly deep...
...and it's strangling 2 toes, not just 1
Blurry photos don't show how it seems to cut to the bone
The toes however seem healthy...
...not overly swollen
The bird was walking as if it were nothing
I can only tell it's hair because a piece is hanging loose
It's too much for me to do in the street

Oh No! It's fallen and it can't get up...
This Pigeon will have to go home minus it's little buddy
A nice footbath will help with the grieving proscess
Mmmm

A quick inspection of the surgery

Ten minutes later - it's back in it's favourite tree
That's it to the left, preening
It's a nice, friendly place. Good job it doesn't say "Do Not Fix The Pige...
