Answer 1

Hi PikaGirl! sorry, but you need to go with Birdgirl on this one. It is illegal to keep a wildbird, and you do need to take it to a wildlife rehab center. :( I know it'll be hard to let it go, but you have to know what's best for the little birdie. :)

Answer 2

i would ring the RSPCA im sure they will help

Answer 3

You cannot keep a wild bird. It isn't fair to the bird, and it is also illegal; you could be fined several thousand dollars or spend time in prison for possessing a wild animal, no matter how good your intentions are. You need to take the bird to a wildlife rehabilitator that can care for it properly; there's a good regional list at http://www.tc.umn.edu/~devo0028/contact.... that can help you find someone near you. That is the best thing you can do to help the bird.

Answer 4

You need to get this bird to an expert at a local wildlife rehab.  It is illegal for you to even have this bird in your possession, they are protected by law.  A rehab can hopefully nurse it back to health so that it can be released back into the wild where it belongs.  Look here for a rehab near you:
