    I've got a fairly big rook chick with no parental guidance walking around my garden the last few days. Found it in our dog box this morning and he doesn't fly at all. Its looking a bit dejected and lonely. Picks at the ground now and then for a bit cant see it lasting much longer. Just to be clear there is absolutely no parent activity. Is there anything I can do for this poor mite except watch it die?
    Im a bit of a softie!.

    You could try to feed it.If you've got dog or cat food handy,it may very well eat that for now.If there are any animal welfare shelters near you give them a call.I'm not sure what part of the world you're in,but the Kildare Animal Foundation are always very helpful: http://animalfoundation.ie/

    Picked up the little blighter yesterday and brought him into the garage.
    he was in a bad way, no struggle out of him.
    he wouldn't take any water or dog food.
    Left it in peace on some hay and checked back later to see
    it was dead :(
    Wanting to keep the cycle of life going so put it back out on the grass
    yesterday evening and it was gone this morning, not a feather to be seen.
    Oh well, at least there's not a shortage of rooks around here.

    That's nature of course,but at least you gave it a fighting chance.
