Save a bird?

Question

ok so the cat i stray cat in our backyard i asked about like an hour ago? well it tried to catch a bird. the bird escaped into our screened-in porch but is now very injured. we got it into a shoe box and im afraid to check if its dead or not. i dont want to let it die because it has a nest of little chicks that just hatched about a week ago to take care of. anyone know what to do to help, if anything?

Answer 1

If a cat injured the bird, it is as good as dead, I am sorry to tell you. But a cat is designed to kill birds and their salval (sp) is posioness to birds so the slightless scrach from the mouth of a cat and that bird is going to die unless you get it to a vet. That is nature, I am soirry to say.

Keep it warm and comfertable and maybe she might pull out. But there is not much else you can do.

Answer 2

hmm.... you could put peroxide all over it with a cottonball, and look after it in the shoebox until you know it is able to survive on its own.
