I looked up how to care for an injured bird and instructions are:
1. Please use a cardboard box to transport the bird. Prepare the box by punching holes in the sides and lining it with a soft towel or t-shirt. DO NOT USE A WIRE BIRDCAGE!
2. Approach the bird with caution. Again, please see the section called Capturing, Handling and Transporting for special precautions to use with larger birds and raptors.
3. Secure the bird by throwing a large towel or blanket over it. Gently but firmly lift the covered bird and lower it into the box. Close the box securely!
4. Keep the bird WARM, DARK AND QUIET! Bring it to us or another licensed rehabilitator for help as soon as possible. Disturb as little as possible-DO NOT ATTEMPT TO GIVE IT WATER OR FOOD unless instructed to do so by a licensed rehabilitator. Please do not attempt to care for the bird yourself.
Wildlife Rescue of an Injured Bird - We Find a Bird With Maybe a Broken Wing While Out in Nature & Learn How to Care For an Injured Bird. So I took it to the Raptor Trust in Millington, NJ - What incredible people they are, savings the lives of many a Raptor in the area.
Dee and I were out for our evening walk, when we discovered an injured bird in the road, huddled against the curb, unable to move, and bleeding slightly. I pick the bird up and move it to the Bushes nearby, unsure what to do.
We walked further down for about another mile and decided if the bird was still there upon our return, we would bring it home and figure out how to help, rather than let a cat or other animal attack it and kill it. So a little while later, the little bird was still there, so I picked it up and carefully carried the bird home.
After sharing our travels on facebook and hearing from a few friends that have saved animals, we were directed to the Raptor Trust in Morristown, NJ - About 45 mins away.
So I turned off the lights in my office, and let the poor thing rest the night. The very next morning, I drive the 45 mins to Millington, NJ and brought the English Sparrow to the Sanctuary to hopefully recover.
