Um... help?

Any of you know anything about wild bird rescue?

No, I'm not dipping into the vicodin. Well, okay, I did take one, and I am a little dizzy just now, but there is also a form of waterfowl residing in my living room. Dad came home this evening with a temporary addition to the menagerie, and now I'm trying to figure out how best to care for it (him? her?).

The little guy looks a little something like this, which is what I'm assuming he is until further notice. He's not presenting with any obvious injuries; Dad was just concerned because he was hopping around on the road, and there are enough feral cats, etc. around here that his chances of making it to morning weren't so hot.

Barring other information coming to light, I'm planning to thaw some fish/shrimp and offer him a little, and hopefully get in touch with someone in Fish & Game or something tomorrow. Any other ideas? Anything I absolutely shouldn't do upon pain of death?

Any of you know who a Pennsylvanian should call in these circumstances?

Our big problem is that there is nowhere warm to put him, aside from indoors. All the waterways are frozen, too, which is probably what led to the little guy being out on the road in the first place. I'll be extremely glad when this winter finally decides to give up. *g*

At the moment, though, we've got him in a quiet box with a little paddle pool and he seems to be doing fine. We're just waiting to hear from the rehabbers now.

Thanks for the advice!
