About a year ago, I found this lorikeet on my door step being attacked by mickey birds. It was just after a storm, it had an injured wing, and couldn't fly.
I called the RSPCA and they told me to pick it up with a towel, place it in a dark box with a towel at the base (so it wouldn't slip in transit). An animal ambulance came that afternoon and took the bird.
It's that time of year again in Australia, with storms and heatwaves. Animals get displaced and injured in storms. Dehydrated and heatstroke in heatwaves. Wildlife rescues and vets in Australia will care for native animals for free. I don't have a car or any means of getting an animal to a vet or anything myself, there are numbers to call depending on the state and location, they will send someone out to assist.
