How to Rescue and Care for Injured Birds

If you find an injured bird, approach it calmly and cover it with a towel. Gently place it in a ventilated box and keep it warm and quiet.

Keep the bird in a quiet, warm, and dark place until you can transport it. Avoid handling the bird unnecessarily to minimize stress and further injury.

Contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or animal rescue center for guidance. Provide details about the bird's condition and follow their instructions carefully.

Offer the bird water in a shallow dish but do not force it to drink. Avoid feeding the bird unless advised by a professional to prevent harm.

Transport the bird carefully to the designated wildlife rehabilitator or vet. Keep the vehicle quiet and avoid sudden movements to keep the bird calm.

Continue to follow the advice of the professionals caring for the bird. With proper treatment and care, many injured birds can recover and be released back into the wild.
