If the bird has visible injuries, dangling limbs, bleeding, broken wing, lethargic, unable to walk, fluffed up...

​

STEP 1.)

• Take a clear picture of the bird. 

 

STEP 2.)

• Try to catch the bird. 

• Find a shoebox type box with a lid.

• Add some brown dried leaves, paper towels or other soft and dry bedding to the box. Gently place the bird in the box and close the lid.

• If you don't have a box a paper bag can be used.

• Place the box in a secure, quiet location to reduce stress for the bird. 
   

STEP 3.)

• Do not give the bird food.

• If the bird is able to drink on its own, you can give the bird water in a very small container (IE water bottle screw lid). 

• Do not try to manually place food or water in the birds mouth. 

​

STEP 4.)

• Text the picture of the bird to 404-969-2324 (Atlanta area only)

Include the following information with your text

1.) Where you found the bird.

2.) If you witnessed the accident/injury, please describe.

3.) Wait for a text response for further instruction. 

​

STEP 5.)

• Avoid frequently checking on the bird to minimize stress.
