If you find an injured bird, here are some steps you can take to help:

1. Assess the situation: Determine if the bird is actually injured and not just a young bird that has fallen out of its nest. If it is a young bird, try to locate the nest and place the bird back in it. If you cannot find the nest, place the bird in a safe place nearby and monitor it to see if the parents return.

2. Handle with care: If the bird is injured, approach it slowly and carefully. Wear gloves to protect yourself from any diseases or germs. Gently pick up the bird and place it in a cardboard box with a lid or a towel over the top. This will help keep the bird calm and prevent it from injuring itself further.

3. Keep the bird safe: Place the box in a cool, safe place away from pets and other potential dangers. Birds can go into shock very easily when injured, so it is important to keep them calm and quiet. Do not attempt to give the bird food or water.

4. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator: Only a licensed wildlife rehabilitator has the special equipment and skills to provide the injured bird with proper care. Contact a rehabilitator right away for the bird to have the best chance of recovery and release. They can make an informed judgment about whether additional care is possible and advise on next steps.
