Welcome home, Sandy! Neepawa home to only known captive Sandhill Crane in Manitoba
By Cassandra Wehrhahn
Neepawa Banner & Press
Some new faces have made an appearance at the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary. The sanctuary has added two white peacocks, a silver lace crested Polish rooster and a Sandhill Crane– the star of the show. This Sandhill Crane is the only known crane of its kind in captivity in Manitoba. Now named Sandy, the crane was formerly undergoing rehabilitation at the Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre (WHRC)– a non-profit at the heart of Ile-de-Chenes, MB, that works to ensure the protection and care of central Canada’s wildlife. The bird was brought to the WHRC this past May by a citizen of Fisher Branch, MB as a small chick weighing less than 100g. The citizen reported that their cat had brought Sandy home a few days prior, and did not know what species Sandy was or how
to care for it. Knowing the WHRC would know what to do, the Fisher Branch citizen made the trip out to the Wildlife Haven so the bird would be in good hands. I n a st atement forwarded to the Banner & Press by the Neepawa Bird Sanctuary, WHRC executive director Zoe Nakata noted that this is not a common occurrence. “Sandhill Cranes are not a common animal that comes into rehabilitation, their young, even less so,” said Nakata. Nakata added, “Efforts to reunite the chick back with the family or to find a new foster family were not successful.” Despite reun ion efforts being unsuccessful, WHRC staff and volunteers continued to ensure Sandy was healthy– includ i ng t reat ment for angel wing, a condition that causes the wing to be misshapen. As it grew, Sandy was found to be too friendly to humans to

be released in the wild, which would become detrimental to survival. As a result, Sandy’s wings were clipped and a new home made for it in Neepawa. At Sandy’s new home, it will be enjoying a diet of kibble, fish, grapes and an assortment of veggies. Bird Sanctuary committee member Brenda Ferguson would like to encourage those who have extra veggies, or veggies that will soon expire, to contact her through the Bird Sanctuary’s Facebook page or via email at brenda58@ mymts.net. Veggies, such as broccoli, should be cut to bite size pieces for safe consumption. Note: The Bird Sanctuary is currently preparing for the winter season this week due to drops in temperature. As such, most birds are expected to be in the barn until next year. However, the emus will remain outdoors for a little while longer and the ducks and geese will remain outdoors this winter, so folks can visit them at any time.
