hi i just rescused a ub adult crow as it just been hit by a car i have gave it centrepeids what else should i do as i think it will live

How injured does it look? You may want to take it to a vet for a check-up. If not try a local wildlife rescue place, not the RSPCA. You may also like to PM Masticophius (probably spelt completely wrong) he used to have a tame crow.

You should probably take it to some sort of centre. I doubt your going to be able to help if it has a broken wing or anything

no i just checked hes not hurt hes just in total shock

Keep him warm and quiet and in the dark to let him get over it. You might try giving your local vets a ring - they may well have a person or a centre they use for wildlife.

Good luck!

Yeah as others have said, just keep him warm and in a quiet place for a few days.

If he's eating then he should be fine if he gets over the shock (any wild animal suffers from shock too much)

once over the initial period then they will eat anything, mine had mainly chicks and rats/mice, but they love mealworms/morios, junk food anything really.

If you keep it for a little while and tame it slightly then it may well hang around near your house as it will know you provide food. They can make excellent pets, though a pain in the arse.

Fantastic birds, good luck with it.

thanks guys at the moment he seems to like bread cetipedes and cats food lol
oh yeh and what should i give it to drink water or milk

give it water. Milk can only really be digested by mammals, in fact even with them I think it's normally only for the few few weeks of life.

In fact give it a large bowl of water, something like a washing up bowl with prob 2 inches or so. They love to bathe, mine would bathe at least once a day, also loved to share the water with me, he could splash water across the other side of the room.

Mike

sounds like you have it pretty well covered. as said, best thing for now is to keep him somwhere warm, dark and quiet. do not disturb him for at least 8 hours. if he was hit hard then do not be too suprised if he has died by the morning though. internal injuries are common with RTAs and do not always show up right away. if there are problems then there is nothing you or anyone else can do about it. assuming that is all fine, for food, chicks and mice are good. cat food is also very good. mealworms are great but you will use a lot of them. forget the bread though. water, definetly not milk. again, as already said, birds can't digest it. one thing that concerns me though is that adult corvids very rarely get hit by cars. they are simply too smart and know exactly how close they can get before they have to move. this time of year though, inexperienced fledglings are often hit. one of the ones I have at the moment is suffering brain damage from exactly that. if you can post a photo I will be able to conferm the age for you, and the species, as rooks and crows look very similar when young. if you do have a youngster then that will make releasing him more of an issue as they actuly stay with the parents for several months after fledging. if you release him too early he will not know how to look after himself and will not survive.
