Moro em uma zona urbana e por ter muitas plantas eles vêm procurando água e abrigo e alguns até mesmo ajuda. Já salvei rolinhas com linhas enroladas nas patinhas, beija-flor com pedaços de bolsas plásticas no bico mas quando se trata de trauma, aí não sei o que fazer...

But unless it's in danger from a predator I always just leave them alone.

It seems that it needed time to recover before taking off. I would have watched too unless it was cold. I am not sure about the leg. I hope it wasn't injured as well.

Make sure that the bird has sufficient air by putting holes in the bag or box<br /><br />(2)Place a piece of cloth in the bottom. It should be cloth with no loops that the bird can get caught on or be able to eat. An old T-shirt or fleece shirt would work fin<br /><br />(3)Put a couple of twigs in the bottom of the bag. Perching birds need to perch as standing flat may put too much stress on their internal organs.<br /><br />(4)Gently pick up the bird with a pair of gloves and place it into your container. Clip the bag with a paper clip or close pin.<br /><br />(5)Place the container in a quiet place away from noise and especially pets as it needs time to recover<br /><br />6)Sometimes heat fights the shock and they come out of it. You can provide some supplementary heat by placing a heating pad on low setting covered with a towel under half the container. Never put anything hot on the bird just near so he can get close to the heat or move away from it.<br /><br />(7)Wait one hour. Don’t keep checking on the bird as that can cause more stress. It needs a quiet, warm place to overcome the recent shock.<br /><br />(8)After one hour, take the container outside to check on the bird. If the bird flies that is good.Or he may not be ready.<br /><br />(9)If he isn’t ready put him back in the dark, quiet place for another hour and try again. If he doesn’t fly by the 3rd hour, contact a rehabilitatorRambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-34297830016033095462011-01-26T21:36:32.965-05:002011-01-26T21:36:32.965-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rambling Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15080120317890707767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32749386.post-69950374804295656642011-01-26T18:13:28.906-05:002011-01-26T18:13:28.906-05:00Injured wildlife always puts me in a difficult sit...Injured wildlife always puts me in a difficult situation, but most times I decide to leave the animal alone. Very often, trying to help them causes them even more problems, especially when you don't have experience with wildlife rehab.
