If a bird hits your window and is unable to fly away: This can be accomplished by using a goose-neck lamp or a heating pad set on low. If the bird is injured, or has no feathers, it is very important to keep it warm. Injured or in danger? If visibly injured or in danger from a predator or neighborhood cat or dog (or brought in by a child from an unknown place) take the baby to Project Wildlife.You may also see the parents "attacking" the baby, but don't worry, this is normal and how the parents teach the baby to hide from predators. If left alone, the parents will continue to feed the bird and it will graduate to flying within days. Mostly Feathered (Fledgling)? This bird is a young fledgling that is learning to fly and it's normal for it to be on the ground.Watch from afar to see if the parents return if parents don't return within a couple hours, keep the baby warm and take it to Project Wildlife. As scent is not their strongest sense, the parents won't reject the baby as some people believe. Line it with tissue (not cloth) and place securely in a nearby tree with the baby inside. Little to No Feathers (Nestling)? If unable to locate the nest, create a makeshift nest using a berry basket, margarine cup, or small box.Never feed a wildlife baby, as this can often do more harm than good.
