If you have found an injured bird or animal then
time is of the essence.
A wildlife casualty in close proximity with people will be
under a great deal of stress. Combined with it's injuries this can quickly lead
to the animal going into potentially fatal shock.
It is essential that you act quickly.
Please follow the links above
for advice about what you can do to help. It is not always appropriate to
intervene so the information on those links will help you decide whether help is
actually needed.
If you have established
that the animal does indeed need your help you will need to contact a specialist
wildlife rescue. Please bear in mind that your vet or a domestic animal rescue
will not have the experience and facilities to deal with a wildlife casualty.
They may end up giving you incorrect advice or putting the animal to sleep
unnecessarily. Please follow the links above to find an organisation in your
area who can provide your wildlife casualty with the help it
needs.
