Hi, I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, or has been asked before, but I'm just after some help as to what to do next.
My cat caught a bird today and although we managed to get the cat to drop the bird and brought the cat inside, the bird hopped away and through a tiny gap in the fence and we now have no idea where the bird went, we've looked everywhere in the garden, although I know its probably hiding somewhere.
Our worry now, as the bird looked small, and did not seem to be able to fly, is that it may be a fledgling and our neighbour has told us there is a nest in a bush in her garden.. we're worried that the cat is going to catch all of them.
We have kept her in the rest of today, but we're not sure what to do next? Do we keep her in the next few days, incase there is a nest nearby and they are learning to fly? She is very used to going outside and hasn't bought a bird back before so we really don't know what to do next. We are going to get her a collar with a bell tomorrow, but will that be enough if they can't fly?
Sorry for the long message, any advice would be very much appreciated.
