Ideally nature should be left to take its course, but if we caused it in the first place, then rescue. A bird hit by a car is different to an old bird too tired to migrate.And Eg. A Bali starling would be a totally different case than a pigeon. And there are consequences for our interference either way. Not that I am up on ecology up there but from what I know a lot of animals survive on frozen dead things and so on. Just guessing but you could be stopping an eagle or something finding some food next week. I suppose my point is we dont always know or understand the consequences. Nature can be terribly cruel, but thats how it is.</blockquote>
