If you find a struggling overheated bird, don’t give it water.
During a terribly loooong oppressive heatwave in our area, a friend of mine found a little sparrow on the road unable to fly not injured but panting and suffering. She learned too late that giving it some water can be fatal even if it’s not a lot.
I’m no expert but I read that you should bring it to shade and call a wildlife rehabilitation organization in your area if it doesn’t fly off within about 30 min. Maybe sharing this lesson will help animal lovers save other birds in extreme heat.
