Creating a Temporary Home for an Injured Bird: Dos and Don'ts

Dos: Provide a quiet, warm, and safe space. Offer water and food suitable for the bird's diet. Keep the area free from predators.

Don'ts: Avoid handling the bird excessively. Refrain from giving human food or medications. Do not keep the bird in a noisy or stressful environment.

Prepare a cozy nest with soft bedding. Monitor the bird's condition regularly. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator for professional help if needed.

Offer fresh fruits, vegetables, or seeds. Keep the temporary home well-ventilated. Ensure the bird has space to move around and exercise.

Avoid using pesticides or chemicals near the bird. Provide branches or perches for the bird to perch on. Keep children and pets away from the injured bird.

Monitor the bird's progress and behavior. Once the bird recovers, release it back into its natural habitat. Remember, creating a temporary home requires care and compassion.
