“Well, he hung out with me for about an hour while I waited for a near bird rescue location to open so I could call (which was an hour and a half away from me).”
“Once I called and described the situation and the bird’s behavior, the woman said it was likely that he was hit by a car or maybe flew into something causing a concussion.”
“She suggested I put him in a dark box in a quiet place for a couple of hours to let him rest. She said to then take him back outside and try to help him fly away.”
Facebook; Angela placed the cardinal in the above box and put a fitted sheet on top
“Well, I did just that. I let him rest in a box for about 2 hours and then took him outside to see if he was feeling any better.”
