Subject: RE: BS: Injured Birds--How to Help?
Hi, folks,
Thanks for your suggestions. And, yes, you're right! I'm embarrassed. She certainly does appear to be a pine warbler, rather than a goldfinch. I have a thistle feeder & I had assumed that the birds I saw were house, purple, & gold finches. I can see, now, that this one's beak is quite different, as well as the coloring.
The Audubon Society is a good suggestion. I also found a bird rehabilitator in my county, about a half hour's drive away. Fitting it into my schedule is another matter, though. For now, she is still with me. She was livelier when I got home today, hopping around, eating, drinking, pooping, but she still couldn't fly. As soon as I can, I'll get her to help.
