Hello I am unsure where to post this but my parents just found a bird (Dark-eyed Junco) on the road as they were on a walk. It is injured and was probably attacked by a cat or hit by a car ( though I don't know how such a little bird could survive that)
Due to the current coronavirus situation my parents aren't willing to go out and take him to the wildlife rehab (The nearest one is 40+ minutes away)
What should I do as of now? Hes pretty out of it but I don't see any obvious breaks and he is in a cardboard box with some water + birdseed right now.
 
In what way is he injured? Can you post a picture of the bird and setup?
He was bleeding from around his head/ neck but we cant see any wounds.
Good news is he seems to be OK now. Probably bonked his head really hard on a window as he was unresponsive for a good few hours. He is eating, drinking and seems very alert. We will try releasing him in an hour or so. As long as nothing is wrong with his wings I think he is good to go! Im so relieved.
