MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Lynette, The best thing you can do when you find a stunned bird is to catch it and put it in a covered box where it is dark. Keep it there for a couple hours. Then after they have had a chance to recover where it is dark and quiet open the box in an proper habitat and see if the bird flies away. If is doesn't fly away it is probably injured and could be taken to a wildlife rehabilitator. My experience with stunned birds that much of the time they are just suffering from a mild case of shock.
