My cat attacked a crow. Is the crow sick or dying? What can I do?

Updated On September 23rd, 2025

Today when I was about to enter my house, I saw a cat(which roams around our area) was trying to kill a crow so I stopped it but somehow the crow was so abnormal cause it didn't fly away , it just stood there. So I took the crow and put it under my arm cause I thought it was because of cold it's 7 degree out here and after some time it popped and it couldn't stand properly, it was kinda tilting so is this because of the cat or is that crow ill and is it dying? What should I do?

It is likely that the crow is ill and therefore the cat was able to attack it. This is how nature works. The weak and ill fall into the fangs of predators. This is how nature keeps its wildlife healthy. That said, you could try to feed the crow with boiled egg yolk and offer it some water and hope to make it feel better, but it is likely very ill and will die.
