Even though their call doesn’t really sound like a trumpet, these wonderful birds use their voice intentionally for various purposes, essentially having their own form of language. However, this particular trumpeter bird wasn't in the mood for singing—a lingering wound on its face was troubling him.

At the SUST Animal Orphanage Hospital in Bello Horizonte (PE), our SUST veterinarian Carlotta was able to clean and then stitch up the wound. After a few days of rest in one of our clinic enclosures (of course, with the freshest food), he was then released back into the surrounding forest.

There, he immediately resumed his favorite activity: Hunting for insects! Thanks to your donations, he’s now trumpeting again! THANK YOU for your continued commitment to animals in need, in Switzerland and many other countries. You can find out more about the SUST-OAH Peru here:
