Why is my injured wild bird sleeping so much? Is this normal?

Question

Hii I found a green indian bee eater whose wing was slightly injured. That Little birdie is with me it's her second day at home. There's no vet nearby who knows about birds. I had called one he asked me to put some antibiotic ointment. I am a med student myself. So I'm gently applying betadine &+ neosporin ointment on the affected area.. But the real problem is she's sleeping since yesterday evening. Is it normal? Please do help! Thanks in advance and god bless

If you've found a wild bird, the best option is to try and find a wildlife rehab near you that can take the bird in, treat it, and safely release it. If she is becoming listless or unmoving, and isn't wanting to eat or drink, I would be concerned that her condition is worsening and veterinary care should be sought (even if it isn't an avian specialist.)
