Common Jay with eclosion defects?
Found a common Jay lying on the mud with crumpled wings last night. One wing is completely folded back on itself. My daughter got it home and it's now been placed on a wishbone flower plant, where it is just hanging on and not moving much. Earlier we had put it on the flowers of a miniature exora bush for the night but it fell off and was crawling on the mud in the morning.
Have placed a small sponge dipped in sugar water close to it, not sure if it will explore.
