6. Please be cautious of those who may want to adopt, falsely claim or take in the bird as birds are commonly targets of theft or cons. Please do not disclose the bird's band number as this is the owner's proof of ownership. Please do not give a found bird to anyone who is not confirmed to be the owner. Attached are questions that can be asked to those who come forward about this bird. resourcesforlostfoundparrots.blogspot.com/p/f.html.
7. It is very important to hydrate found birds and not allow them to feast on dry food such as seeds and pellets as it could dehydrate them even more and make them ill. Please hydrate first with water and make sure they are drinking. You may offer fruits such as watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, apples, kiwi fruit, cherries, pomegranates, applesauce or offer berries such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or a sprig of millet for smaller birds such as cockatiels, lovebirds, parrotlets or parakeets. Attached please find a link which provides ideas of healthy food choices that can be offered to birds.

8. If a found bird is injured or is fluffed up with wings drooping, this bird needs medical attention asap. Please know that delaying to get the bird care could result in its death. If a found bird was brought to you by a cat or other mammal or was scratched, bitten, attacked, please take the bird to the vet immediately for treatment. Bacteria found in the saliva and the mouth of a mammal can be fatal. Cat bites should be considered the most dangerous as birds succumb to these type of injuries in a very short amount of time even if it seems minor. Attached are links to help locate an avian vet should you need one.
