We found a crow that looks like it has an injured wing. It was being seriously attacked by other crows.
It's currently sitting in a pet transporter in my living room. What can we do with it?

Thank you for the answers so far.
I'd love to keep the bird myself, but I have a cat and a three-year-old, either of which would make a crow's life stressful and unhappy.
I'll pick a best answer as soon as the 24-hours is up.

If you really want to help him out yourself, keep him quiet and feed him almost anything. They love chopped raw liver and beef, cut up grapes and berries and bread pieces soaked in a little milk. They are not sead eaters.
If you don't want the responsibility call your local Humane Sociaty and ask them if there is a "bird lady" (someone who rescues orphand or injured wild birds. They may help out.

seek out an wild animal rescue in your region, take it there.
If there are none, and you are feeling generous - you could take it to a vet and make him your pet. A freind of mine on the Cdn prairies had a pet crow that she taught to speak!
but best is probably to talke it to a wild animal rescue.
In the mean time, make sure it has water and some seed type food or canned cat food. To keep it from stressing out put a blanket over the cage. Make sure it doesn't get too hot or too cold.

I was comming home from my aunts with my mom when i found a crow attacking a baby sparrow. We showed the crow away and saw the baby had a busted led it was like bent behind its head. We took it to the vet and the vet is currently seeing what he can do for it. I would take it to the vet ASAP because even it they can't save it they can save it from suffering and put it to sleep. You did a good thing! :)

It sounds like your bird is an adult. Look into wild bird rescues in your area. In the past I have taken injured birds to them and they have rehabbed them before returning them to the wild. In the meantime, provide it with water and check with your vet for feeding suggestions.

Once you estblish that the crow can eat and drink water, you need to find a suitable cage for it so that it can rest and at the same time, heal itself to the point that it is okay. Just continue to feed it and to give it water to drink. The injury leg will heal on its own within a couple of weeks/months. -- PA
