Hi everyone
I'm sorry I don't know if this is the right place to post this and I'm not sure if I am allowed to cross post from another forum but a dear friend of mine has found an injured sparrow that has fallen 30ft. There is no way to get the sparrow back to the nest and my lovely friend has called the closest avian vet (she lives in a small village/town) and they just told her to "let nature have its course" (ie abandon it). She has tried feeding it egg food but it won't open its beak and does not beg like parrots do to be fed. I forgot to mention that she is a budgie breeder so lots of experience with feeding chicks!
Any help would be greatly appreciated please! The lastest advice we received was to feed it mealworm crushed with cat food. She is going to another town tomorrow to hopes of getting to another avian vet but so far the chick has only eaten barely 1ml of the egg food.
Also regarding injuries...have photos and videos but again I do not know about the rules of cross post. if you could help and take a look at injury please PM me?
Thank you very much for any help. This little one is adorable and I hope he makes it
