Yes, you need a bird "rehabilitator" who is the only one who can legally turn the bird loose when it is ready... Yeah, I know this is rediculous but in most states once you take it in you can't **leagally** release it when it is healed...

Actually, you say it is a finch??? They make good house pet/birds so ya' might just wanta let her stay around... If you don't have cats, it will be very happy living in and outta a cage... I think it will learn to go in the cage at night... Finches are like paraketes.... Very friendly... Take to people well...

Ask yer "rehibilitator" about 'um...
