My rescued wild bird has breathing issues and baldness. What to do?

Question

I’ve rescued a rook from the side of the road, he’s eating fine but making little clicking noises when he breathes. Little bit of clear liquid coming from his nostrils now and again and got some baldness between his shoulder blades. Is there anything I can do to save him or is he likely to die? Thanks in advance.

Your best bet, with any found wild bird, is to try and find a wildlife refuge or veterinary clinic that can take him in. They are better equipped to help treat and rehabilitate sick birds and get them back into the wild safely. Until you can find a place that will take him in, keeping him in a warm hospital cage that is separate from other pets and birds (to prevent the spread of anything) and with access to food and water can help.
