Found Bird ID IF2005 SFA435
I found the bird trapped inside a bird feeder on Friday evening - a raccoon must have knocked the top off the feeder. I freed the bird and watched. It tried to fly, but went down to the ground. To rescue it from cats, I picked it up and took it to a tree. Again, it went to the ground. I moved it to the roof of a low building and after a short period of time, it disappeared. On Sunday afternoon, the bird reappeared on my deck. It was walking toward a small wading pool and had no fear of the three cats stalking it. I took it in the house, put it in a pet carrier and gave it water and parrot food. It drank a lot and dug into the food. I can't find that it's injured, just seems exhausted. I put it in an old parrot cage with food and water and covered it for the night. The bird (I already named him MC due to his beautiful milk chocolate color) seemed to be puffed up and really not picking up any steam when I turned back the cover this morning which makes me worry. I've added some salt and sugar to the water and also put some poultry starter food, thistle seed, and rice in the cage. This is a lovely bird ~ I want to help anyway possible ... advice please??? (I have looked up the SFA contact and left voice mail) Thank you!! Carol
