Re: Hurt Bird
I found a bird exactly like this once in the middle of the road. Figuring that it probably wouldn't be a good idea to touch it with my bare hands, I used my undershirt to pick it up. I put it in my car, drove home, and put it in a cardboard box. We kept birdfeeders, so I think we had some seed, so we put some in a corner of the box, along with some water, although we weren't sure if it would be able to eat. I don't know if it's neck was broken, or what exactly, but I think so, as it didn't make it through the night.
I don't know if there's any health reasons not to do this, but you could bring it inside so it can die without being eaten by a cat or something. I would put it somewhere quiet so as not to terrify it any further.
The drugs idea obviously might be an answer if you know what you are doing - maybe call a vet for advice in that regard?
