Help with black bird?
tie her feet to your finger and let her stretch her wings, do it twice a day for half hour and let her build her muscles up, she'll be fine mate. let her go a.s.a.p. so she doesnt get used to hand feeding.
Reply:Call a Vet maybe he knows what to do.
Reply:have you tried contacting the rspb for advice? Well done you for trying to sort her out.
Reply:MY EXPERIENCES WITH BIRDS ( THE FEATHERED VARIETY) IS THAT THEY CAN FLY WITHOUT TAIL FEATHERS BUT CANNOT STEER SO THEY TEND TO BUMP INTO THINGS,MAYBE IT MAY BE BETTER TO WAIT A WHILE UNTIL THEY GROW BACK,IF THEY DON'T SHE'LL PROBABLY A GREAT COMPANION HOPPING ABOUT THE GARDEN
Reply:I would keep her a little longer, what a kind person you are
Reply:neighbours cat will sort it out
Reply:watch her, if she doesnt fly away you can catch her again.



if not, than its her time to go..
Reply:If she can't fly well now then she won't make it in the wild she will get kill by another animal. Try calling your local Vet's and explain the problem to them, maybe they can contact a rescue center that will take over the care of the bird. If it is a Crow or a Raven they are federally protected by Law so you need to be careful about taking in wild birds. If you need any other help please let me know.

Reply:if i was you i would ring up a local rspca or wildlife rescue and take her or have her picked up. DONT RELEASE HER as she cannot survive out there in the open not been able to fly makes her very tasty and easy to a cat!



the local wildlife trust will nurse her back to health and wait for her feathers to grow back. you cannot do this yourself as you havent the facilities...they do and they know whats best.
Reply:Let it go, its gonna die of shock soon anyway. Wild birds cannot cope with stress of being captured
Reply:Try to let her fly in your house ...like the biggest room. See how well she does first before letting her go. Birds do need their tail feathers for direction. And also just keep calling the rescue centers...you'll get an answer eventually. Be careful with her....you never know with the bird flue going around. I would have done the same thing as you...I can't stand an animal suffering.
Reply:If you think she is well enough take her out to the country and release her where there is no chance of cats getting her

Did it once with a pigeon and it worked
Reply:keep her longer until she is ready to fly.the rescue centres are too full up with little funding.if you feel that she will never be better then you could put her out of her misery but id keep her a few weeks and wait
Reply:How politically incorrect.



You should say "Afro-Caribbean lady" Try to throw her out the window because she has dark skin and is female will probably get you a membership of the BNP!!
