Hurting Baby Robin
My granddaughter found a young robin (feathers with some fuzz) on the ground, and I can see it has an injured right foot. They put it in a bird cage. We read the advice about water, and soft dog food. I think it is a losing battle. Can we help this bird survive? Do we make it a splint? How? Please help. Grandma M
A bird used to hit our front window every couple years when I was growing up.
My brother would always put it in a cage and try to nurse it back to health and it would ALWAYS die - rapidly.
My best advice is to call your local paws shelter and find out if they have a wild life department. Or where there is one in your area - it may seem silly for a bird - but I took an injured crow to one and they took care of him.
If you take it there and if you can afford to its nice to make a little donation since they usually need funds.
If there isn’t a place like that around you I think it has better odds if you let it go.
Wild birds just don’t live long in a cage. In your house.
If all else fails and it seems cruel to turn it loose I would get a bebe gun and put it out of its misery.
Good luck!
Hi well…it is probably quite likeley that the bird may die from shock. You coukd try,and it is about 50% chance of it working, although it may not be able to be released in the wild, because of it being so used to humans Hope this helps x
I think the best thing you can do is get this poor creature a proper check up with a vet…if the leg is broken, it may need more than just a splint.
yes if you keep it exersizing and eating well the robin will feel fine in no time
