Carol, If there is any way you could catch this bird, maybe with a net, it could go to the Swanson Wildlife Center at the vet school. They could maybe treat him, but it is an advanced case and may euthanize but at least it would be out of pain. Poor thing. Nancy On Wed, Jul 17, 2019 at 7:58 PM

HI Anne Marie, I believe it is illegal to catch and keep it, not catch it and take it for treatment. If that were the case then every citizen who rescues a bird and brings it to a rehabber or vet for treatment would be breaking the law, which I do not believe is the case. Nancy On Thu, Jul 18
