How sweet you are, prioritize your safety and the safety of others. Be cautious of the bird's beak and talons. Wear gloves if you need to handle it but If you need to pick up the bird, gently throw a towel or blanket over it. This helps calm the bird and prevents it from seeing you as a threat

I'm sorry to hear about the injured bird you encountered. It's great that you want to help! If possible place the bird in a well-ventilated box. If the bird appears to have recovered within two hours, open the box to see if the bird will fly away. If the bird still seems stunned and unable to fly after two hours, please get in touch with local authorities.

It's wonderful that you want to help injured wildlife! First, make sure you're safe and the animal isn't aggressive. If it's safe to approach, gently place the bird in a ventilated box with soft towels and keep it warm and quiet. Then, contact local wildlife rehabilitators or animal control for guidance on next steps. Avoid feeding or giving water unless advised by a professional, as improper care can worsen the bird's condition. Your quick action and care can make a big difference in helping the bird recover and return to the wild! 🐦🌿 #WildlifeCare #HelpingHand

If you find an injured bird, gently place it in a ventilated box with a soft cloth. Try not to handle it too much. Call your local wildlife rescue or animal control for guidance. Meanwhile, keep the box in a quiet, warm place away from pets and kids. It's like giving the little guy a safe spot while waiting for the pros to step in and help out.
