BABY BLACKBIRD ADVICE

There is a baby blackbird on ground in our garden. Been there for several hours. No sign of any parents. He's feeding away off and on and hiding under a dinghy. Keeps twitching one wing as if it's damaged. Will not survive the night here due to predators, cats etc. What to do? 

  • Thank you for your reply. I contacted my local rehab lady who is extremely knowledgeable and has given me similar advice about the shoebox for the night As no parents are around, she is happy to take the bird. If rather an aviary than being got by a fix or a cat. We will try and bring him in tonight. We have a very quiet home!
  • Thank you for further advice. Good news, the little birdie stayed with us until early evening and then suddenly took flight into nearby ivy covered trees. So panic over. It looked really tiny and didn't look as though it could fly. We were shocked when it did! I have learned a lot about blackbird habits in the past 24 hours!
