Directions... Note the important observations below
for the bird you found
Juvenile/Adult
Any answer in a red box

expert.
Yes
No
Did you see or hear
it hit a window?
Yes
No
Can you catch the
bird? Any juvenile or adult bird that can be
easily caught has a problem. Birds that stand around
looking fluffy and fat are often very thin and trying
to keep warm.
Yes
No
Has the bird been,
or is suspected of having been, in a dog's or cat's
mouth? If yes, it needs to be taken to a rehabilitator
without delay. Cats, especially, have bacteria in their
mouths that can cause deadly infection if not treated.
