My mum and dad found a woodpecker on the street, it couldn't fly and was trying to climb up a tree but would get about 2 meters up and then fall off, we don't know what has happened to it, there are no signs of injury, we have got it in a cat carrier at the moment, we didn't just want to leave it out because one of the cats more than likely would kill it. I have put water and some mashed up cat food in with it (i read on the internet that they can have that), it hasn't touched either, it is blinking and moving its head but thats it, i am not sure whether it is going to make it, any advice about what i can do for it? My parents are out but when they get back we are going to see if it will fly off and if not we are going to ring the vet and see if they will take it. We took in a pigeon once before that couldn't fly that survived but it was drinking and moving around and this bird isn't. I really hope the bird makes it.
Please keep us updated, I will keep my fingers crossed!
