J Darcy 5,871 Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Get some food in it and keep it warm. I know its not really recomended but i have had success with very poorley birds by slowly syringing warm milk . This must be done very carefully so the bird doesnt choke. Get some cheap mince down her neck. She is a lovelly bird. Wish i had have found her!! lol Good luck....JD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
