🐦💚 Found an Injured Bird? Here's What NOT to Do!
Many people's first instinct is to offer water to an injured or exhausted bird, but forcing water into a bird's beak can do more harm than good.
Birds can easily inhale water into their lungs, which may lead to aspiration pneumonia and other life-threatening complications. Instead, place the bird in a safe, ventilated box, keep it warm, dark, and quiet, and contact a qualified wildlife rehabilitator for assistance.
🦉 **Did you know? Flag Animal Farm serves as a C.R.O.W. Wildlife Rescue Depot.** If you find injured, orphaned, or distressed wildlife, you can bring it to Flag Animal Farm, where it can be safely received and transferred to the team at C.R.O.W. for specialised care and rehabilitation.
By knowing what to do—and what not to do—you could help save a life. 🌿🐾
