Tiny five-day-old crow rescued and raised in a jug is nursed back to health by SSPCA

A tiny five-day-old crow weighing just 100g had to be raised in a jug weighing as it was nursed back to health by the Scottish SPCA.

Jug the carrion crow, who got his name after he was placed into the plastic container to help protect his legs from splaying, was in a vulnerable state when he was admitted to the charity's National Wildlife Rescue Centre last year.

The adorable bird was completely bald and his eyes were still closed when he arrived. He was also freezing and had to be put into a brooder, an infra-red heat lamp used to keep chicks toasty, to be warmed up.
