Injured Jackdaw

I wondered if I could get some advice. We have a pair of jackdaws visit our garden for food and yesterday found one of them with what appears to be a broken wing. It's very lively and moving about in our trees, coming down for food and water. It's really difficult to catch but just wondered what we should do, as it must be in some pain. Its partner was with it yesterday, not sure where it was most of today as we couldn't see it and the other jackdaw was also looking for it but then it just appeared this evening for food and water and is now back in the uppermost part of our tallest tree.

    Charlotte, have you tried contacting by email, this may elicit faster response or contact Starlight Trust in Wallington direct, again by email!

    Hope Maisie is right about it being just a bad sprain that will heal in time ... you are being of tremendous help by providing regular feed & water!

    First time I've heard of Martins Heron, looked it up on Wiki!

    Looks like good news, last night as it started going dark the jackdaw seemed to be getting really restless up in the tree and I saw it fly a short distance to the trees around the park at the back of our house.  I checked this morning before I left for work and the jackdaw was definitely not there, however, when my fiance left he said it was back. It seems it can fly short distances and is coming back for food and water.

    Great news looks like it should be OK, getting better whilst visiting your cafe for food & water!  Good that you can still see it making progress!
