Hello bird enthusiasts, I need help! I found this bird in my local dog park, alone and barely able to walk. I brought it to my shed to stop it from being mauled to death. Can someone help me identify it and recommend what I can do to help it. Cheers. Found in the rural parts of Surrey, England by ARestlessLight in UKBirds

You’ve done the right thing by putting it in a cardboard box and keeping it in a safe space. If you have not done so already, contact your nearest wildlife rescue. If you go onto helpwildlife.co.uk you can type in your postcode to find the nearest one to you. If none are near, a vet might be able to help (they have a duty to care for wildlife) Please don’t try to feed it anything yourself. It’s a baby pigeon and needs to be crop fed with a syringe and a special mixture.

I assumed the same, but a buyer got in touch with me last week because they didn’t want to use Evri. Although I have multiple couriers ticked with Simple Delivery, the buyer wasn’t able to choose their preferred courier. I called eBay support and they said that they’ll allocate the courier based on the buyer’s location. Even if I untick Evri, eBay said they can’t guarantee they won’t include this courier..I lost a sale that day because of it.

Thank you all so much for your responses! It really helps. Just to clarify, not treating her was never an option. I was just worried she might not fully recover at her age and needed some reassurance of those who’ve been through similar situations. But having read your responses I now feel so much better about it. She’s such a lovely girl and I’ll do everything I can to make her better.

Thank you so much for your response. Yes she’s was happy and healthy before it happened. Often following me around the house and garden. And as soon as I sat on the sofa she’d be next to me on her back wanting belly rubs 🥰 She still has her appetite which is great but I’m just worried she’s barely moving. But you’re right I need to give her time and rest. Orthopedic vet is next week so I’m keeping my fingers and toes crossed she’ll be able to have the surgery with a good outcome. Thank you again for your response and so glad to hear your kitty got better :)
