nice drive for you susan (ok)

Will the bird eat anything>

 

Try some peanut kernals if you have any.

 

Good luck

[Peckedhen]

Thank you for taking him in.

 

He sounds dehydrated and exhausted, try dipping his beak into a deep dish of water just up to but not over his nostrils. If you have any wild bird seed he might pick out from that what he recognises.

[endywa]

he's not eaten anything have tried some wild bird food and have left him with a bowl of water deep enough to get his nostils in,he's a real sweetie but my dogs scared stiff of him ;D when he wandered into the house this morning the dog fled upstairs

[Peckedhen]

BUMP!!  Come on guys, what else can you suggest to help this non-fancier??

[invalidusername]

Hey, well done for taking him in - really good of you.  Wish I was close.  What are the bird's feathers like.  Flat or puffed out?  What about the eyes - droopy, or nice and open?  As Susan has said, water a few inches deep so that he can drink.  You could try waggling your finger in the water, as that can encourage them to drink.  Splash your finger about a bit.  If you're able to keep him out of harm's way, that'd be excellent.  Your dog might get a bit braver, so watch that.

 

Anyone near the Wirral who can help out?

 

You're doing a sterling job, Wendy.  Well done.
