Anyone help grounded crow by tree of outside 141 Barry Road ?

He looks alert but isn't moving .

No vet'll touch it because of bird flu. Probably best to leave it and let nature take its course. 😢

Contact local wildlife centres or RSPB, and get advice. I would also call the vets.

It may be stunned and just need time or may be injured - is he moving/ limping/ breathing properly? I’d try and put him in a safe place away from cars and people.

Google injured crow as well

Least concern. Crows eat each other anyway. They will usually start with the eyes 

[Jules-and-Boo]

Crows live in family groups and will protect each other. It may be there are other crows around, they will feed an injured bird.

do update when you have info x

They also eat each other. When this crow's croaked the others will crow for its flesh. Starting with the eyes.

There's no point in trying to save a least concern bird when survivors of its own species will benefit from its demise. So tuck in, fellow crows.

Very sad view on life.

I once found an injured pigeon and no one wanted to help. In the end, I stuck it in an Uber to a wild life sanctuary in Lewisham, at their request.

Is this for real? It's hilarious, I can't believe the Uber driver agreed to it. I tried to Uber someone's packed lunch to them once and two drives flatly refused to be liable for the sandwich.

I found a stunned blackbird outside my house. I put it in a shoebox and took it to the vets who were happy to look after it. After phoning for an update I was told that the bird had revived after some refreshments and r and r and they released it. The biggest danger is them falling prey to the local cats. I wouldn't ever leave a bird or any other creature in distress. It doesn't matter what kind of bird it is 

[malumbu]

I'd let feral pigeons and green squawky things be devoured by the first predator but otherwise very much in agreement.
