GeordieSteve Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Carl0s I prefer your plan... give it until the morning. It's just a baby... may well be shock (I'd be shocked if a rottweiler 300 times the size of me jumped up and down on me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigcol Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 i would suggest putting a bit of whole milk in with the water to give it a bit of calcium and vitamins (no im not taking the p1ss) you must try and keep its strength up if you want it to live through the night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_Mac Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 i found one being attacked by a cat so i put it in a shoebox and fed it milk with a syringe. Don't give it bread. That's bad apparently. Put it in a shoebox, hotwater bottle at the bottom and loads of tetowels on top so it doesn't get burn't. Lid down. i would suggest putting a bit of whole milk in with the water to give it a bit of calcium and vitamins (no im not taking the p1ss) you must try and keep its strength up if you want it to live through the night DON'T feed wild birds milk, or bread. The bread has no nutritional value to them and merely fills their stomachs, stopping them taking in other, more nutritious food. Milk can ruin their digestion if ingested for long enough. The best thing for most nestlings/injured fledgelings is, believe it or not, minced up Cat Food. It's close enough to what they receive in the wild to be accepted by their digestive systems. If this bird has a broken leg then it's quite possibly recoverable, especially if it's a fledgeling, rather than a nestling. The RSPB won't be interested, but there's plenty of animal sanctuaries that will. I'd have a look in your local directories just to see.

Took it to the PDSA this morning but was too early and had to go to work so some lady waiting outside with her dog took it in for us Yeah bugger off I'm soft but I'd like to give it a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 I have given a few wild animals to my local vets, pigeons, baby rabbits etc They have contacts for people who look after injured animals and they take them away to care for them. I couldn't leave an injured animal in a bush it would eat at me all day knowing it was in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigcol Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 thats it, pass on the responsibility and ease your guilt:D:D:D:D good idea though cos you wont know whats happened to it and you wont feel guilty when its on the menu at kfc:D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC wouldn't use anything as high grade as a wild bird far too much meat on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
