OT - Sparrow help

Hi all, I know this could sound quite bizarre but... well, two days ago I found a little sparrow in the garden, he stayed perfectly immobile and when tried to fly, could fly only for a very few meters. I took him to my house (I save you the details about how to segregate my cat from the little

Dear Paolo, Thank you for helping this poor little soul! Most of the things I've heard and read say only to keep the bird warm and in a dark place until you can get it to a wildlife specialist; well, that's going to be tough if they are all on Holiday! Here's a website I found which includes a

Paolo, We had to take care of a young sparrow for 2 days once until we could get her or him to a rehabber. I think they told us to buy dry dog food and soak a few pieces in water and mix with some banana and feed that. The bird definitely liked it. Michelle

Hi Paolo, It sounds like you have a fledgling there. There's a couple of days in their development where they can only fly horizontally, (a very dangerous time for them). If he's still alive, (sadly, they don't live long in a regular house setting), he may be ready to fly by now. If he

Mythic is MUCH better tonight, he is sitting in my lap, purring contently, something he hasn't done for a week until today! The shots REALLY help.. I just hate to do them, because it's NOT a cure, it's like putting a bandaid over a splinter, it doesn't fix anything, it just covers up the

Terri. I am so very sorry you lost your little male after his neuter. That is so heartbreaking. Also, so sorry about little Albany you lost to FIP. That is by far, to me, the most devastating cat illness. Sending you positive and healing thoughts. -- Brenda.
