Answer 2

Injured birds:-

• Adult songbirds can become injured and sick for a multitude of reasons. The most common reasons include getting attacked by house cats, being hit by cars, window strikes, bacterial and viral illnesses contracted at bird feeders, and many more.

Characteristics of adult songbird in need:-

• On the ground not moving
• Does not fly away when approached
• Easily picked up
• Extremely fluffed up feathers
• Eyes closed, squinted, crusty, weepy, swollen, bleeding
• Evidence of blood or wounds
• Obvious injured limb (dangling leg, drooping/hanging wing, wings not symmetrical)
• Tries to fly but can’t

If you find an injured bird, carefully put it in a cardboard box with a lid or a towel over the top, and place in a cool, safe place. Birds go into shock very easily when injured, and often die from the shock. If a bird has hit a window and is still alive, it may just need a little time to regain its senses, then may be able to fly away.

Do not try to force feed or give water to the bird. Take the bird outside and open the box every fifteen minutues to see if it is able to fly away.
