Help! Found a bird!

Thanks for the advice! I managed to get in touch with a wildlife rehabilitator who is going to try to get a friend to pick the bird up. It turns out that he's an American Kestrel and probably got stunned somehow. The rehabber will make sure that he's okay before he releases him back outside my building. They're territorial and he may have a mate nearby.

In the meantime he's hanging out in a big carrier with some hot water bottles under a towel. I left him in my building's hallway since the carrier won't fit in my bathroom and that's the only room I have a door on. I figured he had enough excitement for one day without the cats trying to eat him.

P.S. Here's a link to a picture that looks a bit like him (though I think my guy is prettier!).

Haha, he is a beauty! I actually got to hold him while he was still out of it, I caught him by throwing a towel over him and he just laid there for 20 minutes. I was so worried that he died from shock that I was sitting in the hallway talking to him! He laid right in my hand just watching me, I could feel his little heart beating. It was amazing! But then he started to wake up and hopped to his feet in the carrier. He stood there looking at me like, "WTF are you doing, lady? I will mess you up!". So no feeding him, unfortunately.

Also, you're not supposed to feed raptors unless you know what you're doing. And if you've found an injured bird that may have a head injury, don't give it water because it could drown in it.

I wish I had a camera! My phone's camera totally blows and I have no way of sending pics to anything other than someone's phone. He's gorgeous and so fierce!

Haha, I know! That's what I kept thinking, packs of them stalking their prey...

Thanks Voodoo, you're the best! He's an adult, male I think. When he's been checked out and can be released they're bringing him back here. They're territorial and he may have a mate nearby.
