In this time of year chicks and washer and crossbowmen Swifts are leaving the nest and flown by the first. It is quite common to find them on the floor of the nest or fallen as a result of the first attempts at flight.

These birds have the wings very long and sickle-shaped, and very small legs and strong claws to cling to walls, so we are unable to lift the flight from the ground (touch the wings ground and can not twitching). Usually taken in a wall system to take flight is simply break loose vacuum from a certain height and began to fly.
All birds are protected species in this family, and where to find them please contact one of the centers of wildlife recovery of the Generalitat of Catalonia , who will take charge and proceed to the rehabilitation and release environment once it is recovered. In case of difficulty you can have him lead our contact center agents and forest to come to your collection.

While contact centers can keep the recovery in a cardboard box, with papers on the floor and open top. If you absolutely do not need leaded keep it warm. So while you are looking for temporary and who merit position, you can feed with feed dog or cat soaked and softened in warm water, by putting small amounts directly into the mouth, taking care not to damage the beak open her mouth.

Never knew that they could not fly from earth, how curious nature ...
Thanks for the article! I thought it was a bird so common that nobody would charge. I'm on the ground each year. Most of them sometimes up to a balcony enough to undertake the flight but this time not for young or if you do not see an injury is unable to fly properly. No wise man who make so many thanks!
