hmm i dont know.

anyway i have on a few occassions tried to save birds.
i'd never keep one as a pet.

if i see an injured animal or bird in my garden i will try to help it.
we had an injured pheasant last year, thought we may have to catch him to help, but instead we fed him specially and he gained strength and repaired.
we were constantly watching for him. he only had one leg on the ground.
he recovered well. and he suffered no stress from being caught.
now we have a mixi rabbit, i was advised by 2 contacts to put him down, but he didnt look like he was dying, so i read up on the net and found that wild rabbits have developed an immunity to the disease and now 50% of them now survive.
well nearly 5 weeks now and he is still with us, eating washing and hopping all around the garden. he even spotted a cat from the other side and ran from him, so his eye site must be repairing too. im so glad we did not take the drastic action of putting him down.
