Yesterday, I heard a thump on the window, and when I went outside I found a stunned Black Capped Chickadee laying on the ground. I picked it up and put it in a bird cage so he could recover without the risk of being eaten by our cat. He seems to have mostly recovered now, with the exceptions that he is still holding his left eye closed the majority of the time, and he doesn't seem to respond to visual stimuli the way I would expect from a healthy bird.
I was just hoping someone might have some advice for me because I'm really worried about it. I was going to release it this morning (because before it recovered to my satisfaction last night it fell asleep in the bottom of the cage), but again he doesn't seem completely healthy. Should I just let it go? Do you think it's injured for life? *sigh* please help!
