So, I haven't been on in a very long time, but a bird emergency just came up, and this was the only site I could think of. Hopefully you guys have some advice on how to care for wild birds, or if someone knows of another forum that could help?

At about 10:30pm tonight, I was about to take my dog out for a walk, when I noticed something on the road. I took my dog back inside, came back out and found this little brown bird sitting in the middle of the road, breathing heavily, with his eyes closed. He doesn't appear to be injured in any way, there's no blood or feathers missing, and his wings seem fine. His feet seem fine too, although I don't want to handle him too much to check. :/


I used rubber gloves and put it in a little cardboard box, and it barely struggle when I moved it. Since then it's just sat in the box, breathing hard, not moving other than opening its eyes every now and then.

I filled a little bottle cap with water, but it hasn't touched it. It was also almost 40 degrees Celsius (104 Farenheit) all day, so I'm worried that the little guy is just overheated.

I know I probably shouldn't have brought it inside, I was just worried about it getting run over or eaten by something.

Do you guys have any advice? Anything at all is appreciated!
