and Domestic Placement
Put it in a cardboard box with a lid - Immediately!
It is very important to tape the lid shut.
Not
A Cage - complete
darkness is essential. Do not poke holes in the box. The bird
can breath just fine as enough oxygen will come through the
seams.
Do
Not Put Food and Water in
the box. More than likely the animal is in shock and will need
proper care before food and water can be offered. Place the
box in a dark, warm, quiet place. The animal can remain this
way for several hours, even over night. Do not leave the animal
in your vehicle during Spring and Summer months. They will overheat
and die. Call us at:
