The hospital's staff had the daughter take the 450gm female ring-neck to Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, where it has been treated since Tuesday for wounds to its wing and leg.
Sanctuary veterinarian David Hale said it has about a 75 percent chance of survival, but probably will not ever be well enough to be released back into the wild.

Man falls 16 floors, lives
A man crashed through a double-paned window in a hotel in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and plummeted 16 floors -- but survived when he was caught by a roof overhang. Joshua Hanson, 29, was taken to a hospital. Police and fire officials said he had multiple broken bones and internal injuries. Hanson and two friends returned from a night of drinking at about 1:30am on Saturday. When the elevator reached the 17th floor, Hanson ran down a short hallway toward a floor-to-ceiling window. He apparently lost his balance and crashed through the glass, then fell 90m, landing on the roof overhang one floor up from the street.

The Chicago-based media giant has been entertaining offers amid pressure from investors to boost the company's sagging stock price. The committee was formed in September to oversee the development of strategic alternatives for creating additional shareholder value.
