If you keep him (because of an inability to fly properly), never ever cage him. They eat almost anything and will be perfectly happy living in your backyard.

Hi Eddy I appreciate your compassion and hope you were able to help the crow!

A baby crow just flew into the grille of a speeding car (just now) July 29,2016 9:00 am Sandpoint, Idaho on Boyer avenue. I ran out and picked it up in my robe. The other family crows are squawking like crazy.
I sat in the yard with it to let it die out of the road...it didn't die...so after a long time I let it just sit in the grass...it flew up on the roof so I thought good enough...sometime later it flew down by our bird bath...there are a lot of kids out
of school walking by so we picked it up and took it to our fenced in back yard where there's no people or traffic. Sometime later it was over heating in the sun...without many options we put the injured crow in our big parrot cage and covered it with
towlels and put on some soft background music...it calmed right down...the next few hours will tell...

Hi,

There are a lot of wild crows around my neighborhood. I often observe
them when I take my morning health walk. Sometimes I feed them roasted, unsalted peanuts still in their shells. They take them occasionally.
These birds interest me.

This morning I found a full grown wild crow that appeared to have a
broken wing. Some other crows appeared to be harrassing it. I was able
to capture it without hurting it. I brought it home, gave it a safe,
warm comfortable place to hide, with food and water. It's very quiet,
isn't eating. It's alert. No doubt in pain, terrified, possibly in
shock. Probably in shutdown mode.

I called several vets, but none will touch it. A couple said it's
against the law in California to treat wild animals, unless owned by
licensed zoos, or something like that. I called animal shelters. None
are interested in rehabilitating the bird.

If the bird survives and the wing heals imperfctly, so the bird can't
fly, or can't fly adequately, I'm willing to give it a home as long as
it lives.

I have no idea what its chances of survival are, if I give it shelter
food and water..

I'm wondering if I should try to put a splint on the broken wing myself,
but don't know how.

I'm wondering if the bird will survive in captivity without a splint on
its wing.

Suggestions?

Dear Tim, I have had the same issue with finding a crow, so did my friend. If you would like to contact me, I don't know how long ago this issue came up for you or what you end up doing about it but I still have this issue actually both of them and
they were living quite happily :). So if you still have yours we could maybe make all three of them even more happy with friends. Quality of life in a great community right?! Lol.

I have the same problem, a crow with a broken wing! However, I saw the bird with its wing somewhat dragging so we left water and food and it has learned to adapt to its new limitations. It will climb trees quite rapidly and go clear to the top jumping
from limb to limb! This has been going on for 3 months now, not knowing how long before that the wing was broke. I worry with the winter coming on even though we live in a mild climate. Good luck with your Bird in need.

Hello, I’m not sure how long you wrote this I’m not even sure what website this is. I found you using an Internet search because I’m in the exact same situation. I found a crow a few days ago with a wing hanging down who is in need of help. I tried
calling around and there’s only one person in the Reno Nevada area who helps injured wildlife and she hasn’t called back.
I wanted to know what you did and what you think I should do. Thank you.

This isn't a website, but a usenet discussion group. This post was
made years ago. Take it to a rehabber.
