As such, you’re more likely than usual to find an injured bird during migration periods.
If you do come across one, the nonprofit wildlife rehabilitation organization Help Wild Birds has an important piece of advice: put them in a donut.
“Always place injured birds that can’t stand up by themselves in a ‘doughnut’ and place them in a box,” reads a Facebook post from Help Wild Birds Facebook.
You can very easily aspirate an injured bird and that alone can kill a bird,” the post continues.
According to Help Wild Birds, if you find an injured bird, you should put it in a box.
