Approach the bird calmly and cover it with a towel to reduce stress. Gently pick up the bird and place it in a well-ventilated box with air holes.
Ensure the box is lined with a soft cloth and has enough space for the bird to move but not too large to prevent further injury. Keep the box in a quiet, warm, and dark place.
Avoid handling the bird unnecessarily and do not attempt to feed it. Contact a local wildlife rehabilitator or veterinarian for further guidance on how to transport the injured bird safely.
During transportation, keep the box level and secure to prevent the bird from getting jostled. Avoid loud noises and sudden movements that can stress the bird further.
If the bird appears to be in critical condition, handle it with extreme care and seek immediate professional help. Remember, the goal is to transport the injured bird safely for proper care and treatment.
Remember, handling injured wildlife requires caution and expertise. Always prioritize the well-being of the bird and seek assistance from trained professionals. Your actions can make a difference in saving a life.
