Shawn Bergman, Canuck and Cassiar’s human buddy, rescued tiny Gordie, took him to be rehabbed and then released the little guy in Maple Ridge to another crow family of four who happily adopted him.

“Gord is Canuck and Cassiar’s child from their second nest attempt from this nesting season of 2019,” Bergman wrote on his Canuck & I Facebook page.

“Gord the crow now lives in Maple Ridge, adopted into another crow family with two other babies of their own. He was welcomed into their family with open arms and I couldn’t be happier.”

Canuck himself needed rehab after a soccer dad went berserk on the trusting bird at a playing pitch in March of 2017, clubbing Canuck repeatedly with a corner flagpole and knocking the bird unconscious. Canuck was nursed back to health by Humane Award-winning vet Dr. Anne McDonald at her Night Owl Bird Hospital in Kitsilano
