RSPCA are useless, do you eat chickens btw? If so, do you not find any conflict with going to all this effort helping this bird, (which is great btw) but then paying for other birds to live horrible lives and be killed after a few weeks?

I do eat chicken, I oppose the needless and cruel killing of animals for food, but culling is a necessity as well whether cattle/chicken etc. We are also meat eaters as living beings, but until lab grown meat is out in full force then nothing will really change, and even once that happens, culling will still be needed to balance ecosystems from over-population and the issues like disease etc that comes with. It's a fine line for sure, but we help where we can to do our own little parts.

I believe nature has a method to its madness, it lands things at our feet and sees how we deal with it. This little bird was in need of help, nature requires this guy to survive.

Sir Starling Moss (still undecided :p) is going to be let free in the house probs tomorrow depending on how he appears chirp-wise. See if he eats from the hand etc. And if he can not fly yet, then give another couple of days to regain wing strength I guess.

So thats generally what animal agriculture is, seeing as the vast majority of farmed animals live in hell hole factory farms, which are obviously cruel and unnecessary when we can live healthy lives on a plant based diet.

Not sure what you mean by "culling", the animals people eat don't exist in nature do they, so we breed them to kill them at a fraction of their lives. Zoonotic diseases are also caused by what we do to animals, take a guess which industry uses the most antibiotics....

I would advise if you're going to do this, do it outside so there's no risk of other injury
