Tiff a month ago and Tiff today

The video above shows Tiffany the magpie as she appeared at the end of April, and today.

In August last year Tiffany developed a small, bright pink swelling on her upper chest, but it disappeared after a few days. It came back with a vengeance in January, appearing as a grey-black balloon-like growth hanging off her chest. Over the next few months the tumour grew as Tiff evaded multiple attempts to capture her.

A few days after taking the first video above, I saw blood on the lump and called SOWFI. One of their volunteers came out and was able to get a clear shot with a net gun and take her to a vet. She had the tumour removed and last week was released back to her family.

I'm so grateful to SOWFI for saving the life of my little friend.
