injured bird

[Dudley52]

On my patio theres a bird just sitting/standing there. It won't move, it just moves it head. I think its injured!! What can I do to help it?

Maybe it just has gas.

Leave it.

Probably in shock from a cat attack or a predator has had a go at it, if it keeps sitting there then I suggest you grab a box and put a towel in the bottom. Then put the bird in the box, if it is no better in a few hours you could call the RSPCA.

It seems it is blind in one eye. Its got a mould type stuff growing on the eye. Its head keeps moving to the right like it can't keep it steady. I don't think its a good idea to bring it into the house.

Call the RSCPA bud, then go out and put a box over it so that a cat can't have the poor little bugger for a snack.

do the dudleybrother special move on it

you could end its misery with a concrete slab to the head, or let the RSPCA inject it with a little sumthin sumthin.

called RSPCA, they said put him/her in a box and take it to the vets. Went to pick him up and he flew up in a spiralling circle, smashed into the tree, luckily landed on it somehow. It was low enough to grab the bird so I tried again and he flew off. The thing is I touched it earlier to see if it would fly off but it didn't. Poor little thing.

repped for animal concern

I think you did a really good thing there mate.

Even though I might "just" have killed it insted. - Always a hard call with birds, 'cause sometimes they just sit there stunned without moving and the next second they fly away.

Ooh dudley firstly let me say that there is a problem with some birds its a bug or parasite or something that gets transmitted from bird bath water maybe you should call your local wildlife trust and just mention the fact the bird looked ill just so they can make a not, my local wildlife trust just issued a memo a few months ago about this and asked us to report any thing odd.


if you ever find an animal like duds did he did exactly the right thing, first just observe it for a while if its fledging season (or a baby mammel) leave it and see if the parent will come for it, if not then yes box, towel keep it warm but i'd think twice about calling the RSPCA

i found an injured bird a few years ago, was up all night dripping it water and choping a worm for it, it was ok then the RSPCA bloke came just snatched it from the box and started waving it about Bang it died from shock and the bloke laughed, i mean he laughed at me when i started crying i could have walloped him tbh he said something like ah well it would of died anyway...

bastard.

anyway local wildlife rescue centres are much better the people are generally volunteers and do it because they genuinely care about animals this bloke was getting paid and obviously didnt give a hoot.

ooh also if any of you do find an animal and need to be able to give it water the local checist should be able to give you an eye dropper if you explain what its for

had a similar thing happen last week with a baby bird, cat had it tailed and the baby bird got stuck in some wire fencing we have in place

i just cut it out (wire cutters not the bird itself :>) sat it in the conservatory in a box overnight with a lil water bowl (after feeding it some mushed up biscuit- apparently its decent food for a baby bird) then put it in a box up in a tree the next day

took about 6hrs for mummy n daddy bird to actually find it (focking thick birds are i swear, they must of circled it like 200x) but eventually it got away somehow with them ^_^

did you get the samaritan feel?
