Что делать с найденным стрижом

1. NEVER 'launch' a grounded Swift in the air
2. Bring the Swift indoors. House in a deep plastic container, or a ventilated shoe box, lined with a folded tea towel. Keep the swift in a quiet room.
3. NEVER feed it (see below)
4. REHYDRATE carefully by placing a damp cotton wool bud to the side of the Swift's beak. Take care to avoid the nostrils and don't try to open the beak as they break easily.
5. CALL US without delay on 07778 768719

Please do not feed the bird, no matter how much it begs. Grounded Swifts are generally dehydrated and emaciated and can die if they are fed in this condition. Under no circumstances must you feed meat, dried mealworms or seed. A Swift is an entirely insectivorous bird.

Please do not put a Swift in a cage. A Swift cannot perch and the bars on a cage will irreparably damage its long flight feathers.
