My cat brought a baby bird inside. It's not injured and I want to release it, but it can barely fly and it's cold and rainy. Where do I put it?

• I feel for the bird also. Our grandson found one like this earlier this year. He released it onto the lower portion of his house and it eventually flew away with the mother bird hovering around. I home hope animal control tells you what to do instead of coming to your house to get it. Most animal controls don't take in animals to nurse them, they go to animal shelters.
  I really don't want my tax money to pay for a trip by staff for every baby bird that leaves the nest early. :):):)

• If your cat brings a bird into your house & you want to help the bird to see another day you will need to seperate your cat from the bird but don't get upset w/ your cat because he/she is feeling proud & is expecting to receive praise from you. Once seperated find a cardboard box (not too big, u dont want the bird to damage it's wings) poke air holes into the lid & then add some tissue paper or paper towels for the bird to rest on. Dont try to give the bird H20 or milk just close the lid & tape it shut. Put the box in a dark, quiet, warm & safe place. Towels around the box can help to keep it warm. Leave the bird alone (away from pets, or children)and as soon as you can, give animal control a call & they will pick up the bird you rescued. Way to go...your a good egg! No pun intended.
