Default Help needed - injured bird

There is an injured bird in my back garden. The RSPB are closed until 4th Jan. I live near Bath. Does anyone know of anywhere I can ring to help it? I cannot touch it

It flew into my kitchen window and is on the floor bleeding from it's beak and it is still breathing...

I would be most grateful for any advice...thank you, Foxy

Rspca, they are always available.
My mate is an inspector but out of your area.

If you can manage it, pick it up and put it in a cardboard box somewhere quiet. That will stop it injuring itself further. It may well die of shock, sadly they often do. In the meantime your local vet may offer advice over the phone as they will have someone on call today.

At least you tried, foxy.
Hope that's the last nasty of 2010

I suggested hitting it with a shovel. It's now gone to the graveyard in the dustbin.

I'd imagine it probably died a horrible, painful death. Like one I tried to rescue did. Next time I find an injured birdie, I'll put it out of it's misery. Advise others to do the same too.

And yes, I likes animals.
