It is critical that you be aware that if you can tell a bird is ill by looking at it, then it is really, really ill.
As a natural defense, birds in the wild pretend to be feeling alright, even when they are not. A sick bird in the wild would be an easy target for a predator.
By the time you notice a bird is ill and each day it remains so, is the equilivant to 1 week in human time. You must take immediate action on the bird's behalf.
