Bird flew in my window with a broken leg... what should I do??

[clicknext]

So this poor tiny little thing kinda stumbled in and fell on the floor. One of its legs is bent in a strange way. Anyone know what I can do?

[maziwanka]

If not, send it my way!

 

[Kipper]

if you can catch it, take it to a wildlife center...

 

[yukichigai]

Call the animal shelter or the Humane Society. They'll know.

They'll probably either tell you to set it (and how) or ask you to bring the bird in.

Is it a chicken or a turkey by any chance?

I think it's too far gone to resist much, it can barely flutter... makes me wonder if its got a broken wing too? Wings look fine to my untrained eyes though...

Um, chickens and turkeys can't fly.

If it's still alive, call the local fish & wildlife dept and ask them if there's a wildlife rehab place nearby.

 

[Ogg]

Just throw it back out the window!

As confirmed by Les Nessman.

Put a silverdollar sized pancake on it's head and take a pic

Obscure but I got it. That was a hilarious episode.

Not true. Wild turkeys can fly.

Until Jack Daniels shoots them from the sky.

Unless it's a protected species, just let nature take its course. Feed it to a cat.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Find a cat, feed bird to cat.

 

[Psycho18]

poor bird.

 

[labrat25]

if it's young... it's SOL

if it's older... you can try bracing it

either case you can take it to an animal shelter

My biology teacher told us to let them die. It's natural selection and by helping this bird, we're not "helping" the species.

I know - look at the human race - we've ruined our gene pool.

If you handle the bird enough, it will trust you. My uncle once took care of an injured hawk back to health in upstate NY. No cage, just meat and a very thick rubber glove.

Unless of course you just don't let it reproduce, in which case it's a moot point.
