Answer 3

I suggest Getting some gloves and holding it in the air, See if it just needs a boost.  If not theres not much you can do.  It will heal in 1-2 days.  If you want you can go to a local pet store and buy some bird seeds to quicken his/her recovery.  You may have a few more birds coming though..

Answer 4

Call the People who deal with that kind of stuff. I am not sure what your country service is but australia's is the r.s.p.c.a

Answer 5

take the bird to an animal doctor

Answer 6

just be careful, you don't want to touch it with no gloves

Answer 7

Look in your phone book or on the internet for a wildlife sanctuary, there's probably one around. We have one nearby and if we ever find any injured animals we phone them for advice. Usually ask you whether it's possible for you to put it into a box and take it to them or some (like the one I know) have a service where an expert comes out and gets it for you. Then they look after it, and set it free back in the wild once it's better!

Although it doesn't sound like you'll have to this time, if it's obvious a small animal i.e. a sparrow, is dying the kindest thing to do it wrap it up in a towel and put in into the fridge/freezer, it'll become cold, go to sleep and die quickly from hyperthermia. This means less suffering. But don't try that now, because if the bird's hopping about then it's probably ok.

Answer 8

Put it in a shoe box but dont close it.. Put some nuts in it and cloth and take it to the vet.

Answer 9

Call the DNR, or someone to pick it up. I wouldn't touch it. It might have a disease like west nile, and you dont want to get it.
