RIP little birdie

So small youngster!

 

[dharma]

Did you at least tried to feed him?

 

[screwglue]

NOOOOOOOOOOO

it really did just break my heart seeing that bird dead

 

[soozieq]

Was it really necessary to take a photo of the dead bird? 'RIP' was enough, no visuals needed, it's just upsetting.

 

[iriverdude]

It wasen't dead in that picture, it was sitting on my shoe.

 

[soozieq]

Right. Well, since the photo was attached with your 'RIP little birdie' comment, and it looks as if it's been propped up against your shoe... it's easy to see why 2 of us thought you'd taken a photo of a dead bird. So, did you call around to see if there was a wildlife hospital in your area? I think you can still get advice from them. Anyway, it's worth bearing in mind for the future.

iriverdude-
So it's Monday, the wildlife center is assuredly open, and you're logged on here? Why don't you get a move on and get the bird out to the rescue center? Every minute you're on here is costing its life possibly....

You don't want to be known around here as the swallow killer do you?

 

[iriverdude]

It's dead jim.

did you at any point attempt to, or actually make contact with any kind of animal welfare or rescue centre?

 

[mbriant]

You put an injured, frightened bird on your shoe so you could take a photo of it? And it wound up dying. Nice.

 

[iriverdude]

It jumped onto my shoe by itself, it liked sitting on my finger also.

I suppose you fed the remains to your avatar instead of burying it, too. If not, then please give birdie a proper send off. For instructions on a proper bird funeral, watch the first 30 minutes of the first Poltergeist movie.

“Cover its box and leave it for a bit; see if it gets better. Otherwise you will just stress it out. Wild birds aren't built to take a whole lot of stress.”

“They can die of shock if they're handled so be extra careful and please update this thread when you have more news.”

“Most wild birds don't handle the stress of being manhandled well ... especially when injured. Unless you really know what you're doing, an animal rescue organization is likely it's only chance for survival.”

And almost everybody suggested you attempt to contact some animal/wildlife shelters.

Why did you even ask for advice ?
