Rescued a wild bird with a broken wing. Where to find cheap vet care?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Pet's info: Bird | Wild Bird | Male | unneutered

I saved a wild bird a couple months ago that had a bag wounded wing and the wing is completely broken and dislocated and I’ve put medicine that’s fine for the bird on there and the skin healed but it’s still dislocated and I don’t think the bird will be able to fly. Is there any place that would fix or remove the wing for free or a cheap price?

Check local and state wildlife laws first to make sure you are allowed to keep Angel. Next, contact the local veterinary clinic and ask for the contact information of nearby wildlife rehabilitator. If you are legally prohibited from keeping wildlife, a rehabber will give Angel the best chance at treatment and recovery. If you are allowed to keep Angel, a rehabber should be able to direct you to a veterinarian who may be able to help out. Any discount or assistance would be at the sole discretion of the veterinarian or specialist.
