Nowadays using compact camera only, so the picture quality is not always the best. They're often also screencaptures from a video. Also trying to focus more on sounds, behavior and habitats than visualities.

There's often observations about animals more or less in trouble, handled, etc... Please add description.

Does helpless looking young birds need help? Generally not, but that depends on species too.

• "Found a baby bird - When to help and when to leave alone"
• "So You Found a Baby Bird, Now What?"
• "Kun löydät linnunpoikasen"

Especially young thrushes leave nest before they can fly.

If nestling has fallen from nest, and is too young to survive outside, before returning it to nest, it should be checked if it's warm before returning to nest, as low body temperature could cause fatal digestion problems if parent feeds it before incubating.

If bird needs help, it's best to contact wildlife rehab, but in some cases these help instructions for different aged House Sparrows could be useful:

• "The House Sparrow Passer domesticus: Nesting, Orphan Care and Rehabilitation - page 2"

• "If a bird hit your window, it might need your help!" – Thread includes general help on window collisions and making windows bird-safe.

On glass collisions, confused bird should be kept 1-2 hrs, or if needed even longer, inside dark ventilated box (eg. shoebox with holes) in a peaceful place. Keeping the bird dark without disturbance aids recovery. (Note: concussion may make the bird spin wild or act otherwise disturbingly, but that doesn't mean it is actually so seriously hurt that it would need to be euthanized and rest will help.) It would be best for wildlife rehab personnel to check the bird before release for internal injuries which could cause the bird die later even if it could fly away, but if that's not possible, release could be tried after that time peried if the bird looks better.
