Recently, I had come across an injured Wilson’s Warbler and wasn’t sure where to turn too.\u00a0 After a post in the Orange County Yahoo Birding listserv<\/a>, I received numerous replies of local organizations to contact for injured bird assistance as well as How To Care For An Injured Bird.<\/p>\n

Here’s a few ways to care for an injured bird courtesy of Songbird Rescue<\/p>\n

Temporary Care Instructions for All Birds:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. NO food or water Keep the bird warm.<\/li>\n
  2. Tissue filled shoe box or other small box with holes in lid.<\/li>\n
  3. Place on Heating Pad on “LOW.”<\/li>\n
  4. Keep bird in a dark, quiet place.<\/li>\n
  5. Leave the bird alone; don’t handle or bother it.<\/li>\n
  6. Keep children and pets away.<\/li>\n
  7. Call a wildlife rehabilitation center<\/li>\n
  8. If you’ve rescued a smaller bird such as a Warbler,\u00a0 a Park Ranger on the east coast wrote and stated:\u00a0 “the smaller ones I put inside a paper bag, this I learned from a wildlife rehab workshop. The paper bag is softer than a box, and won’t damage wing feathers if they panic.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Below is compilation of contacts<\/strong> for Orange County only should you encounter an injured bird including tips that may help.\u00a0 Note each of these contacts is not for all types of birds.<\/p>\n
