Hi everyone,
Just yesterday I had found an injured sparrow in the house, the cat brought it in. I took it outside and let the cat out thinking that it would end its suffering, but nothing happened because she wasn't interested.
Feeling badly for it, I ended up taking care of it. This event happened June 18, 2009.
It is Day 2, and So far she or he is doing alright. I have been feeding the sparrow blueberry seeds, peanuts, bread with tweezers imitating a wild bird feeding its baby, and water
She can not fly or walk, and her right leg is injured where a few feathers had been torn out. Perhaps it is broken. I've bandaged the leg using cut strips of a paper towel, and tying it with floss, carefully as these birds are quite fragile.
Her feces is white, so there is not danger of internal bleeding as far as I can see.
She is in my room for now in a nest I've made for her using an old shirt I don't wear.
Now being that I am very connected with animals, and becoming a Vet tech soon, I have the right to take care of this wild animal.
I expect her to recover in a week or more. Maybe sooner, we'll see how it goes.
The Vet is not an option. This is just a journal entry I am making to update you on the sparrows progress.
~K~
I've also taken pictures so I may show you those also sometime.
