How do you deal with the heartbreak of a bird flying away

This bird showed up in our yard injured and I've been taking care of him, I accidentally left rge door open and he fly away. At first I thought he will be fine in the wild but I researched that domesticated birds doesn't usually survive.
I've never felt this emotional breakdown before and I've beeb crying ever since.

How did u cope with the emptiness?

Are you a bird?

Has anyone actually visited the bird feeder? I’m oddly invested now.

Rescued this little guy today

While I was heading to work today, I spotted this common swift lying on a low wall outside a church. I couldn't just walk past. After the police said they couldn't help, I got in touch with a local WWF volunteer. A nearby bar gave me a cardboard box, and the little guy immediately huddled inside. It hung out with me at my office reception for an hour until the volunteer arrived.

Good news: The volunteer said it likely just fainted from exhaustion. They’re giving it some treatment and hope to release it tonight! So glad I was in the right place at the right time. 🥹

He’s alive but wings are rotting?

I seen this hawk that seemed alive and able to spread its wings but they were rotting and I could see through them. I tried to get service to call wildlife but I was miles from service. My own content

Birds can process motion so quickly that catching tiny insects mid flight looks effortless.
