I was invited to watch the A10 Warthogs training (target practice) during December of 2007. I did a little editing to fit the YouTube requirements. Here is a list of my other aircraft video: Bird Watching Revisited http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pds70VVCk3g Blue Angels at Barksdale AFB 2008 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rkj3obgagig United States Air Force ( http://www.airforce.com/ ) A-10 Thunderbolt II ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A10_warthog ) Flying Tigers ( http://en.wikipedia.org …

I was sitting in the bay window and kind of watching a Cardinal outside, pecking around. Apparently my bedroom window was open (it’s on the basement level with a shelf along the wall, and my cats sunbathe there as well as use it as a door during the day), and my Siamese pounced the poor thing.
Seeing it happen, naturally, I had a mild panic and ran out and saved the thing. His wings seem alright, he’s hopping around, but he lost some feathers and on the whole seems like he needs to recuperate for a day or ten.
I’ve already called my local rehabilitation centre, but it’s past 7PM on a Sunday- no one’s around. I figure I’ll have better luck tomorrow, but I’m worried about how to keep him comfortable through the night. I know nothing about this other than keeping wild birds is illegal and a trained professional would have more success than me in any case.
Any advice would be great– I’m feeling really guilty about the whole ordeal! ):
He passed away around a half hour ago, probably from external injuries. I feel pretty bad about it, but given that it was thundering outside and raining and he was probably a bit more comfortable in a quiet part of the house than he would’ve been out there, it isn’t so bad.
Thanks for your advice, guys. (: I don’t think there was anything I could’ve done that I did not do.
