I rescued a baby magpie-lark last night because my dogs were trying to eat it. It is fully fledged but most of its tail feathers were pulled out when the dogs tried to get it. Other than that it has no major injuries or wounds. It is eating meal worms and looks quite bouncy but it cant yet fly. It keeps falling over. Does anyone know what this could be? there isn't a problem with its legs other than that because it perches happily but it cant get back up when it falls over. I wonder if it needs the tail feathers to balance? what could this be and what could i do to help it?
thank you!!!
