PLEASE HELP! Found injured/sick sparrow?

[SnakeBean]

Today me and my sister found and adult male house sparrow slowly drinking from a puddle. It was clearly having trouble drinking because it was spitting up. We picked it up and it didnt struggle at all. It was breathing sort of slowly for a bird, and we weren't sure what was wrong. We set it down on its back in the shade while we went to do something, and when we came back 20 minutes later it was still there and was still alive, we touched it and it flinched but didnt not struggle. We set it on its feet and its started flapping its wings and trying to run away (it was slow). At first we thought it was having a stroke or something, but we weren't sure. We checked for an (external) injury and did not have any visible. Does anyone know what's wrong/how we can help it? i dont want to just leave it do die.

CS isn't the right place to ask for veterinary advice. If you can, please try to find a wildlife rescue in your area, call them and follow their instructions, rather than trying to handle it on your own, especially since there's a chance the bird may be carrying a disease.



Using a towel or washcloth, grasp the bird around the shoulders so its wings are against its body and cannot flap. Transport it to the rescue organization in a shoebox lined with a cloth or paper towel. (Do not use shredded paper, cotton balls or grass clippings.) Be sure to provide holes for ventilation.

Do not attempt to provide food, water or first aid to the bird.

If it is nighttime and no rescue organization is open, keep the bird in the dark box overnight. For warmth, you can place the box on top of a hot water bottle or heating pad on low. Take the bird to the rescue group first thing in the morning.

Okay
