Hi All
I am new to this forum so not sure if posting it in correct place. If not please guide.
3 days back I found a baby coppersmith barbet bird in a sewage drain near my house, probably fell from nest .
I took it , gave it a bath, and tried to feed him.
It is not able to fly I noticed. It is trying to fly but due to some reason it is falling down every time. To protect, I have kept it in a cage and gave it food- banana, apple, biscuit, eggwhite and water. It is able to eat that. However after 3 days still it shows no t much growth or capability in taking flight. I am seeing in the top of head , breast and belly there is very less feather grown. I took to a vet also who found an infection under the wings and gave a spray twice a day, and a medicine - maxigro. I am giving that but no visible improvement in behavior. I am attaching few pictures and a video of it. Can someone give any kind suggestion on what to do to make it better so that it is able to fly itself.
. You can see the bird is weak by seeing the pictures attached. There is a lump under the throat also not sure if it's normal. Thanks in advance.
