(S. Indiana) Robin Fledgling/Juveline
My dogs discovered this fledgling/juvenile robin that seems to have fallen from a tree in my backyard and I rescued it before they could cause any (further) damage. It appears to be very strong still and tried to hop around on the ground and can still chirp very loudly. I held it and it started calming down almost immediately. I kept it calm and placed it in this shoebox, and I did not give it any food or water. It will still open its eyes to look at me when I open the box and then seems to settle back down and close its eyes.
The wing seems to be bent all the way back and it isn’t bleeding. It seems to have bled minimally.
I’m located in S. Indiana near the Kentucky border. I contacted a permitted rehabilitator near me per the Indiana DNR website and left a message on their voicemail but it was almost 8pm so I’m sure she’s probably asleep or in bed. If anyone has any suggestions or is located near me and would like to help, I would greatly appreciate it.
