I saw a cuckoo laying on open ground on a woodland path today. I had a dog with me (dumbass ran right past the bird and didn't even see it), but it made no attempt at resistance or try to flee, it just sat there opening and closing its mouth while making no sound.

It didn't try to run when I made a little makeshift stretcher out of a few branches and lifted it to a relatively slightly safer place in a nearby tree. It flinched when I first touched it and looked at me with clear eyes, but it didn't do a single move to get to safety. It just kept opening and closing its mouth.

I don't go on 4chan a lot but Google gives me nothing and I didn't know where else to ask, so I ask here.

Does anyone know what was wrong with that bird? Was it okay, was it dying? Was it in pain, would it have been more mercy to kill it?

Picture unrelated.

>Was it in pain, would it have been more mercy to kill it?

You can't really know. It might have been sick or hurt, but sometimes sick or hurt animals actually get better.

Killing it would have likely been illegal, at any rate. So don't second guess your decision to not kill it.

I've dealt with this before, The birb was in shock from something, probably from flying into something or someone, its heart rate is just elevated.
Just give it some time to recover and it'll be fine

So it should be fine, it just needed to catch a little break?
