We had a nest inside the metal plastic where our roof hangs over. Well today got really hot really fast, we found one on the porch already dead, another that looked like it was trying to get out, that also died. I went in and pulled the plastic down and it was so hot, and there was still one that was alive and not looking good. I got gloves and got her and placed it in a box, I called the humane society then after calling 5 other people finally got a wild bird facility but they are an hour away and were closing in less than an hour. I can take it tomorrow after work but am afraid of it dieing before then. I went to sparlingtalk.com like the lady told me and have been giving it little drops of gatorade on its beak for rehydration, it is moving more, but still worried. Plus I gave it a little water, before I found out I couldn’t, but it threw up right after. I am afraid I may have done more damage. Right now all it is doing is what looks like to me sleeping, I just keep giving it a couple of drops hoping something will happen. Any ideas, what can I do to help the bird till tomorrow or do you think it just might be a lost cause.
also, have a heating pad under it, at low with a blanket in between the box and pad (thin box) and it covering the top, I read that it has to be 85 to 90 degrees.
