| Re: Sick and injured
Hi HelenOr - there's not a lot you can do unless you can catch things - and usually by the time they will allow that its too late and the critter is too ill to care. Agree with Mystic meg that the thrush looks to have had a collision - could be a window (avoiding a sparrowhawk) or more likely its glanced off a car - which is a common happening for thrushes and blackbirds. She may well recover slowly over a few days......... the starling may not use its leg again but will cope - they are hardy aggressive birds which seem to cope. The best thing for all is that food is easily available on your bird table and that must help a lot of slightly injured or disabled birds get thro their lives.
