I have an outdoor cat who brought my sister a bird he caught yesterday. And... it’s not dead. In fact, it’s blinking and (brace yourself this is super scientific) has the head reflex thing when I gently rotate the carrier and follows my eye. It doesn’t seem to be injured, aside from its wings looking a bit disheveled. The only bird experience I have is with chickens, so I need help! Yes, I do have a wildlife center nearby but they’re closed right now, I would have to wait until tomorrow.
Some pictures are down below.
If it was near death or had no hope of saving I would have just put it out of its misery, but it only seems like it could be in shock. I didn’t touch it, but carefully wrapped it in a towel and put it in a cat carrier. :fl

Does it have any visible wounds? It doesn't look too bad.
Bacteria from a cats teeth and claws can kill a bird even if the bird escapes.
From what I’ve seen it looks uninjured but I also didn’t want to stress it out by picking it up and turning it over to look.
