Hello Birders,
When I went out to fill my feeders an hour ago, I found a squawking, injured
red bellied woodpecker on the ground, under my hose reel. The Wildlife
Rehab on Billingsley is closed until 9 am tomorrow and there is no one I can
talk to there.
Following advice I gleaned on the net, I have put the woodpecker in a
cardboard box with towels, inside a large dog crate in a quiet darkened
room. The bird appears to have a broken or injured wing.
Currently, I am trying to warm the bird up and keep it quiet. There was
advice about giving it warm Gatorade from a pipette...I do have Gatorade but
no pipette. What else could I use? A straw?
Any advice would be appreciated. I sure don't want this beauty to die. I
have to be at work at 8 am...does anyone know of another place I can get
help for the bird???
Thank you for reading. Becky
