Poor wee thing.
Have you put it in a box or something Steve?

Nice one Steve. :)lets hope it flys away soon.

Its a goldfinch. Give it something to drink (water!) and some budgie seed mix. Don't disturb it ,and it will be right as rain tomorrow.

Ah, I wondered what kind of bird it was.
Though you had pretty looking sparrows down there.

Some of the women aren't bad neither. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

when finding a bird they is not looking well .
never give it anything other than water never be tempted to give it milk it will kill it.

put it in a cardboard box with the lid open or part open put a shallow water dish in like say a jam jar lid
get another jam jar make some holes in the lid (10/15 holes) put a night light in the jar and put the jar in the corner of the box with the lid on box open and small amount of water in shallow lid
the night light will provide heat for the bird and because its in the jar it cant hurt its self it will also attract insects so as the bird feels better it will have fresh live insects available .
once it recovers it will fly away .
thats the best thing you can do for any Wilde bird.

a lot of the Wilde bird seeds contain a lot of millet .
millet is a bit like chocolate to the birds they will eat nothing but millet if given the chance but its not good for the birds they need a balanced amount of millet.
