Baby Crow with deformed beak

Hi,

We have a baby crow in our back yard which we are happy to feed in the belief it will learn to fly and move on.

However this crow has a deformed top beak.  It is curled over preventing him from gripping food properly.  The bottom beak presents as a "channel" while the top beak curls left almost as soon as it comes out of his head.

What should we do?  He appears to be getting weaker and has not tried to fly in the last 24 hours or so.

Thank you,

Peter

Hi Peter, have a look at this link and contact the wildlife rescue service for your area, hopefully they can advise/assist you.
