wild bird

I'm new to this website. I kind of only joined because I need some advice, and so far this website has been extremely helpful compared to any other platforms I've looked up. I recently adopted a Starling (by recently, I mean a few weeks ago) and it's been relatively easy to care for him. I...

My cat got a hold of a sparrow. When I found it it had a single puncture wound on its back and blood on its nostrils. I believe it also has a broken wing. It makes a strange 'crackling' sound, kind of like gently scrunching a plastic bag, every couple seconds. It doesn't match the frequency of...
