International Bird Rescue - Contact - Found a Bird?

When you find a bird there are a few important steps to keep it safe before transporting it.

Please follow these TEMPORARY care instructions:

Find a medium/large-sized box and place a folded towel at the bottom.
Ensure there are holes in the box big enough for airflow.
Place the bird in the box and keep in a dark, quiet place.
Keep the bird warm.
Please don't feed the bird.
Leave the bird alone; don't handle or bother it and always keep children and pets away.
