1 nanday conure Black Jack, 1 Brotogeris parakeet Whiff, 1 ring neck dove Eliza, and 6 society finches (3 are tame). RIP my parent pairs of societies and my little gouldian finches
hello, so I just found a fully feathered sparrow in the road. she is in a sleepy like state, she wont keep her eyes open for long and is very limp and listless but still alive. her feathers are smooth and clean, but she was sitting in her poo. Im going to give her a little plain pedalyte with some water and bird seed and see what happens, but what do you guys suggest? i'll call a wildlife rehabilitator but this is all I can do for now. any ideas?

the next morning she was fine and flapping around. We let her go in a park and she flew away as healthy as ever. My guess is she was just dehydrated or stunned and needed a quiet place away from the elements to recover.
 
So glad the little sparrow recovered and you were able to release him. You're probably right about him being stunned or dehydrated. Kind of you to help him out! :)
