Found Bird - Need Help

[Jessika]

Good on you for taking the time to care for the feathered friend,it sounds like something is not right for sure, getting the bird to the zoo or conservation place is your best bet, so hurry if you can,i have tried unsuccessfully to help baby bird and they always end up dying, so let the experts do their stuff, but sounds like you made the bird nice and comfortable in the mean time. Good luck, let us know the outcome if you can.

I mean't to add here in NZ you can take any wildlife to a vet and it won't cost you anything, i hope it is the same over in the big ole US of A, check it out, a lot of people don't even know this, i myself didn't till recently.

Huh really? I will have to look into that, it would make things a lot easier. I do know there is an animal control office down the highway from me, you just reminded me! Maybe they can help!

Good Luck, check whether they will charge you or not, as that is the policy down under, so hopefully it will be the same over there, but could easily not be, keep us posted.

To be honest, though, I would rather pay to have them take it in than risk it being malnourished and possibly face death because I couldn't care for it appropriately!

That is one lucky lil birdie, that you came across it, of course i understand that, but if you don't have to pay then that would be all the better, just check out what the situation is, and then well if you end up having to pay, well thats the way it is eh? good luck.
