Question by saracatheryn: How can I help a wild bird in distress?
We have many trees in our yard, and are bird friendly by nature, (we have 3 brilliant parrots), and recently we have had a couple injured birds in distress found in our back yard. Of course we don’t bring them in, (we don’t want to potentially put our birds in harm’s way), and in the case of the fledgling I tried to keep it where it’s parents would see it. This worked and the parents saw him, but unfortunately, the bird appears as though it is dying. What can we do to help our wild tennants when they are in distress? What are the best things I can do to help and not hurt them further?

Don’t try to mess with nature. There are certain natural laws that govern these things and if you try to interfere you will only be making things worse. Your good intentions are misplaced.
This is the same problem experienced by documentary filmmakers who film lions and such in Africa. If they come across a sick or wounded animal that is about to be attacked by a lion, they are told to leave it alone and let the lion kill it. You are not to interfere with the natural order of things. You will only make things worse.
