hi all

me and my daughter have just been out in the garden where we found a, what i think is a baby crow, being pecked about and beaten up by an adult rook.

i have taken it into the house and made up a temp cage for it in the shed.

my question is what do i do next? do i feed it and if so what? is there any local carrion sanctuary's (sp) near to me (west sussex)?

i have already rang my uncle who is a vet and he said that if i did take it to a vet they would probably just put it down and be done with it which is why he wouldnt take it in.

any help is very much appreciated

Are there any visible injuries? if not, but hes not moving so well, its probably just shock and stress..

I'd feed him up over the bank holiday, grains, dried mealworms etc. and then let him be on his way

Squishy dog food not the nuggets will keep him well.

just been in contact with the shelter and they have told me to take it up there tomorrow. i have squished up some dog food and mixed it with some water and put it in with him. gonna leave him alone now so he can chill out and hopefully he wont be to stressed out

if the shelter dont/cant take him in tomoz then i will bring him back and try and take care of him myself

i brought up a baby crow on dog food, he had a bad wing and we couldnt find anywhere to take him. he got back to full health and is now back in the wild so theyre not hard to rear especially if theyre at the age yours is at.

thats good to know if i have to bring it back home. if so would it be ok to pm you and get some more info?

also would putting the food in a bowl be ok or should i try and feed it by hand?

He doesn't look that young so you should succeed.. Can he not fly at all?

nah, i did give him the chance quite a few times but he just seems like he may still be to young

i just hope he isnt to stressed as i think that could be the only thing that could kill him. i have fought back the urge to keep looking at him and picking him up every 5 mins so he should be ok
