COMING TO THE RESCUE
One hot, summer afternoon I looked outside and saw a small, black object on the grass in the backyard. I decided to check it out and discovered that it was a bird. It was obviously injured with one wing sticking straight out. Its eyes were open, and it seemed to be breathing. I quickly ran back inside and started searching online for information on wild animal rescues. I found a website that gave advice on what to do with injured birds. It clearly explained when to leave an injured bird alone and when to call an animal shelter. In the case of an injured wing, it recommended contacting a shelter.
I called the local animal shelter, and the woman who answered the phone advised me to place the bird in a box with a lid and bring the box to them. I asked about giving the bird some water since it had been out in the sun, but she said not to do this—the shelter would take care of the bird’s needs. She also warned me against touching the bird. She said birds can carry diseases, so it’s best to wear gloves when handling them.
She had instructed me to put the bird in a box lined with a small blanket or towel. I had to be extremely careful not to touch its broken wing, and I moved as slowly as I could to keep the bird calm. It made a faint squawking sound as I lowered it into the box.
I placed the box in the car and drove to the shelter. Once there, the shelter volunteers immediately attended to the bird. I felt sad as I parted with my new little friend. I wanted to know what they were going to do with him. One volunteer explained that the vet would check the bird before deciding what treatment could be given. Apparently the shelter takes in injured animals all the time, and sometimes they are able to rehabilitate the animals and release them back into the wild. Other times, unfortunately, the animals don’t make it.
I hoped that my little friend would be okay. The volunteer assured me that the shelter takes great care of their animals—placing them in warm, dimly lit rooms to keep them comfortable. So I said goodbye to my little friend and went home. I never found out what happened to the little bird, but I’d like to imagine that it’s flying free over my backyard again.
