1. Assess the bird's condition:
- Check for any obvious injuries or signs of illness, such as drooping wings, fluffed feathers, or discharge from the eyes or nose.
2. Isolate the bird:
- If possible, separate the sick bird from any other birds to prevent the spread of illness.
- Place the bird in a warm, quiet, and draft-free location.
3. Provide food and water:
- Offer the bird fresh, clean water and a variety of appropriate food.
- If the bird is too weak to eat or drink on its own, you may need to assist-feed it.
4. Seek professional help:
- If the bird's condition does not improve or if you are unsure how to proceed, contact a wildlife rehabilitator, veterinarian, or other animal care professional experienced in bird care.
- They can assess the bird's health, provide treatment if necessary, and advise you on how to care for the bird.
Remember, handling a wild bird can be stressful for the animal and may be illegal in some areas. It's best to consult with an expert before taking any action.
