This beautiful male Superb Fairy Wren was found one recent morning by WIRES volunteer, Kay. He was caught in a cobweb! If anyone else has had experience with this we would love you to share?
The web had been spun between lower branches of a tree and this poor little guy was well and truly stuck, dangling by one wing. Kay tells us they carefully cleaned off all the cobweb, feather by feather.
Kay says she has never seen a bird caught in a cobweb before, and was astounded. Spider webs are known to be strong, but this was amazing!
