Like Kenai said, this is a wonderful memorial for a sad story. I was surprised I hadn't faved it already, actually - it's a beautiful illustration.

Hi Emma, just clicked on the link you sent to the corvid aid mail about the SSPCA & saw your beautiful crow piece! Imagine my surprise when I saw you were on deviantART too! Its a small world!

ha! Cool to see you here!

I don't sell prints at the moment, because I can't find a way to get good quality ones made.

Haha! Same here! I sell postcards of my drawings to raise funds for Corvid Aid but getting good prints made up is a different kettle of fish!

Many shelters don't have vets on staff and have to euthanize for conditions that they can't treat within the shelter. Are there no local wildlife rescues you could contact in the future?

The thing is that the Scottish SPCA have vets on staff, but it appears that the ambulance driver didn't even bother to take the crow for assessment.

There aren't any rescues within travel distance to me (I don't drive), but if this happens again I will do my damned best to take the animal to an independent shelter.
