Bird Bath...

    My wife resuced a bird from being splatted on James Joyce bridge yesterday - its a fledgling. I have no idea what it is maybe a pigeon or a crow. For all I know though it could be a teradactyl.

    I know (from google) that you should leave fledgling alone and the parents are watching etc but this thing was a genuine traffic hazard - nice to see - but people swerving on around n one of the busiest roads in Dublin wasn't going to end well for one party.

    We've tried feeding it and gave it plenty to drink and he seems a bit stronger now. Should we put him back near where we found him? He's currently residing in the bath.

    DSPCA doesnt seem very interested but I suppose thats fair enough.

    If you are a law student you better get better at deciphering facts. a quick description into google or here will give you the answer. markings size etc. It could be a pigeon being so close to the city centre. take a pic and upload it and i'll tell you straight away.

    feed his mushed up dog food applied with a skewer of some sort. if you apply slight pressure around the edge of the beak where they both join his beak will open by reflex and once you drop it in he will eat it.

    Many Thanks - I'll try that.

    Incidently my wife did google him and he's a pigeon.
