You may want to check for wildlife rehabilitators in your area!  I 
found one in our area online after we found a sick young bird in our 
back yard...



But if you tame me, then we shall need each other. To me, you will be 
unique in all the world. To you, I shall be unique in all the world; 
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed... --Antoine 
de Saint-Exupéry

If you talk to the animals they will talk with you and you will know 
each other.  If you do not talk to them you will not know them, and 
what you do not know you will fear. What one fears one destroys. --

Hey Kerry,
Looking for rehabers in your area I came across "Chicago Bird Collision
Monitors". These folks have organized to help migratory birds that
become disoriented, crash into the glass buildings and become injured.
If they can't help, I'm betting they'll have numbers for rehaber in
your area. Their hotline number for folks that have found injured
birds is: 773-988-1867. They also list Flint Creek Wildlife Rehab:
847-602-0628, and Willowbrook Wildlife Center: 630-942-6200.

You're an angel NinaI called the hotline, and another 
angel answered. She's going to pick up little sparrow by 10 tomorrow---after 
she's finished her dawn downtown patrol for injured birds---and take him to the 
rehab where she works.
I've filed the number for future ref!
love and hugs, Kerry
PS--Why does this always happenemergencies right before I 
fly to UK?!
