How can I help the injured bird?

Question

There's a bird (some kind of Trush or so I think) on my balcony with a broken wing, the wing doesn't seem to hang too much down, so I don't think it's that broken (if it can be broken in many ways, I don't know...) and the bird is very lively, runs around and sings etc, so she doesn't seem to be in a too bad condition, but bad enough not to be able to fly away from my balcony.

I still have hopes for her though, as she doesn't seem to be that hurt, so is there anything I can do for her (maybe give her some kind of food or something - what??) and is there any chance she actually can recover from a fractured wing?

Answer 1

i think u should give it some time see if the bird heals and as for food im pretty sure u dont have to feed it seeds u can give it crushed bread. but you also have to think about what you doing because a bird is like any animal for cats in example if u feed a street cat, and u keep feeding it and will keep coming back for more. so basicly u have a new pet lol.

Answer 2

just leave it

Answer 3

You should probably get a vet. Give it some water and maybe some seeds, if you can find any. Maybe it eats berries and some types of fruit.

Answer 4

The bird needs to go to a local wildlife rehab..not a vet, vets are not licensed to treat wildlife and will likely euthanize the bird.  Look here for a rehab near you for this bird best chance of survival.  If at all possible, a rehab will release the bird back into the wild once it is healed.

Answer 5

I know I have had many birds fly into my windows and break a wing or get some kind of injury, and I have also had some birds hit my windshield while driving down the road. My first reactions were what do I do? Do I help the bird if it's still moving or do I leave it alone? I was so unsure what to do I called an animal hospital and they told me to take a shoe box and line it with soft cotton, poke holes throw the top of the shoe box lid for air, then gently pick up the wild bird using a pair of gloves, put the bird in the shoe box, cover the box up and then to bring the wild injured bird to the animal hospital for medical attention.

The reason why they told me to bring the wild injured bird to them was because it's the safest way to help an injured bird and because most injured birds can be healed with medical treatment and returned to the wild to live a happy life. The worst thing you could is to let a bird hit the window and do nothing to help it, and it's not right to let any animal suffer in pain. Most birds the medical hospital received get great medical care and will survive the injury, but you won't know if the injury is server if you don't take the bird to the animal hospital
