Richard TwineStick
 
The name comes from the stick stuck in the twine that was tying his feet together and was going to eventually lose a foot and one or two toes on the other foot.  The Richard part is because Richard Belzer from Law and Order SVU happened by just as I swiped the bird off the street and was looking at his feet. He asked if it was sick, I said no, and told him of the epidemic foot problem. He seemed sympathetic. The video on the left shows first the one footed bird I first spotted, then Richard (by the car wheel) then another comes limping in front of Richard! Needless to say - I caught Richard.

Richard as his peers see him
I had stopped to check out this Checquer with a broken foot
He came very close...
It was a busy day for me, I had to shlep this poor thing
through several subway and cabs before arriving home
and getting out the toolkit.

He started eating strait away after the de threading - even though he had quitea full crop when I caught him!
