Hello, Judy, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Why are they diminishing? Predation, starvation or disease or???

Can you find my response to (I think) Pippin the Chicken? Sorry, I am new to this website and still have trouble maneuvering.

'Tis.

Are all causes of death the same? Unknown? We need to know what you’re dealing with before we can help with anything else.

I will update after next weekend. Thank you for caring.

Kinda depends on how bad the injury is. This could be something like trying to sling the wing so it heals, to euthanizing the bird if the wing is not salvageable or badly infected.

As for approaching them, I would suggest just being blunt with them - their treatment is killing these birds and this is morally wrong what they are doing. If you are able to take on these birds, maybe extend that offer? If not, offer to aid with the rehoming process?

Thank you. Good information and suggestions.
