it is not a baybe and i aall ready looked on google

I am a wildlife rehabilitator…if you can find a wildlife rehabilitator in your area I would call them and see if they can't take the bird. Depending on what area you are in, you can usually find contact information over the internet for rehabilitators. Look under your states wildlife commision website.

    i would put it in a cage and feed it bird seeds and put worms in the bottom and a bowl of water and just wait for your doctor, keep the birds wing comfortable like use a popsicle stick to keep it straight but use a glove. good luck.

    don't not feed the liquids if it is a baby bird that will kill them you should look stuff up on the inter net try to figure out what kind of bird it is and how to take care of it until you vet gets back then immediately take him there

    try http://www.google.com to find info on the bird

    well, whenever you find a animal such as a bird in the wood you should never touch it because it is an wild animal and you have to find help from an adult because they would know more, another thing you should put it in a box of hole with leaves so they would think that it's their nest and so the can breathfrom the holes.

    See a different vet that is in tomorrow morning. Or call your local Game Warden (you can call the non-emergency number for the sheriff's department in your phone book and ask for the Game Warden's number) and ask for the number of a wildlife rehabilitator.

    The lady that is the wildlife rehabilitator had it right…they have the training and skills/ equipment to mend him the fastest and get him back in the wild as soon as he's ready. It is his best chance for survival and a happy life.
