Baby bird’s neck looked twisted and was desperately trying to fly when I found him on the floor. Thinking the bird would not make it I picked it up to give it some warmth and care, and let it die with care. But the little thing is hanging on. I put him (don’t know if it’s actually a he) in a box wrapped in a small towel and a small heat lamp nearby but not directly above. The little thing drank water, a lot, on its own! It’s been sleeping for the most part, but wakes up from time to time and moves around. It also would try to fly but it can’t yet. I haven’t been successful in reaching local wildlife groups (in NJ) possibly because it’s Sunday evening. I will try again tomorrow morning. Goal is to rehabilitate and release back in the wild. Here’s a video of the bird.

Update: Local wildlife conservation told me this is a House Sparrow and they don’t take them because it’s an invasive species. If they take him they would humanely euthanize him. Gave me the option take him to my vet and raise him. Not sure how to do that since I live in an apt building. But I can take him to my family’s house and make a little nest for him in the backyard so he can have some freedom, then we’ll just check on him. Any advice is welcomed, want to do the best for the little thing
