Neck it before a cat gets it.

My Dad put a brick on a vole a cat had caught when I was a child. Nearly foutry years later a cat got a woodpigeon while my Dad was staying, I said shall I just kill it, and my Dad said "No, try and care for it.". One of the most poigniant moments in my life. I won't say how it ended, except we tried and trying "was" the right decision.

*Edit. Protect it from predators. i.e. Care for it.

I saw Simon King neck an injured bird once, not good.

If you've injured a bird just make sure she tells the hospital she walked into a door and you'll be alright.

If it's been got by a cat you need to all over the floor really.

my mum once cared for a bird that flew into our patio window, just kept it in a show box and fed it some bread and water. let it go a couple of days later.

It sounds like a recently fledged Blackbird which would look like a lot the female (brown and mottled rather than black), but without the tail feathers, see:

In which case what you are seeing is a perfectly normal stage for a young bird, once they have matured to a certain level they will leave the nest, whilst still being cared for by the adult (what you are seeing with the Male bird continuing to feed it), as they learn to feed and fly on their own.

Why can't you people respond without making one of your pathetic "jokes". It's a genuine question.

Your posts are laughable too. Why mock an injured animal? Would you like me to mock you when you are dying?

Am I missing some sort of reason why "a vet" did not spring to mind here?

 

[Tuppy_Glossop]

I'm given to understand we shouldn't interfere with nature.

Mock away little mocking bird.

1000 posts is a long way for MM access isnt it ?

I'm sure the bird feels better knowing you are defending its honour.

Sometimes it is glaringly apparent why I spend progressively less time here.
