Over the years, I have encountered a few birds who have been injured. I am more of an observer that also comprehends the mind of a bird than its physical form, so not always in a position to assist. I recall discovering an injured bird on the way to school with my single-digit aged son, who is now an adult. I could not help it, so reported it to the school office and asked if they could call a wildlife number. When walking to the beach once, my son and I found an injured bird on the roadside. This one we took to the police station, asking them if they could phone for help.
Since moving to the Illawarra district almost a decade ago, we have also encountered a few injured birds. Once we found a dying seagull. I wrapped it in my jacket and carried it home to care for. We put it near the water tub, offered it food and shelter, but it crawled to the back of our yard to die naturally.
Just a few days ago I passed a myna bird that was lying on its back on the ground. I decided to wrap it up, bring it home, and phone for advice as soon as I had popped to the ATM. (It being early morning, it was unlikely anyone would disturb it within these few minutes.) However, on my return, it was upright and hopping away…
With these occasional if infrequent encounters, I am beginning to consider learning about how to care for injured birds professionally. Then, if I encounter one, I can deal with it directly myself, rather than relying on the telephone…
