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 everyone, today I was given an injured bird a friend of ours found. I have seen these kinds of birds before but I don't know what species it is. It seems like the bird is injured (can't stand up/ keeps falling to one side). I have cared for many wild birds before so he is in good hands until I can find a wildlife rehabilitator. Until then does anyone know what kind of bird this is?

Id say a Japanese White Eye? Or a mejiro.
 
Looks like some kind of wren to me.. not sure.. Is it solid color or has little lighter/darker dots?
I'd take it to a wildlife rehabber asap.

He's solid and kind of an olive green color. If it helps I live on Long Island in New York.
 
Looks like an orange-crowned warbler to me, but it's tricky because all warbler species have worn out feathers this time of the year. Looking like a young female to me. Attached are photos taken from two of my field guides for reference.


Edit: sorry first photo was blurry. Darn phone lol anyways the second photo, I am pointing to the subspecies I think yours is, considering your location and birds plumage.
