A small stork needs help

[Search]

We have a stork's nest on our house's roof. A couple of minutes ago the small stork (a baby swan ) fall down. I pick him up. And I don't know what to do with him. He is lucky because we have a lot of cat's here and 2 cats and 5 kittens was just next to him. What can I do? how can I feed him? Should I catch some warms for him?

Edit: I was in a hurry and condused swan with stork

Hello Serg,

I had a similar experince two years ago. A couple of little birds fell from the nest to my terrace,and the first thing I did was to place them in a shoes box
and leave them in a high place in the terrace. My hope was that the parents heard them, which was the case , and for the day the parents themselves
fed the little birds. At nights, I put them inside the house so as to the cats did not harm the little ones.

They made themselves at home in my terrace, to the extent that they only left when they were able to fly away. It was wonderful to see the caring parents to teach them to fly, firstly from chair to chair, then from the chair to the terrace edge, until finally they left following their parents.

Hi Serg

The best and only hope for a large baby bird such as a stork would be to get it back into the nest as soon as possible. Perhaps getting the local friendly fire department involved as in the youtube video below, where a youngster was rescued from the danger of falling off the edge of the nest. If you can put it somewhere dark and warm, perhaps in a box, to calm any nervous behavior. You can feed it worms, beetles and any large insects.

Hope this helps.

Sorry for this late reply.

I run quickly and put the small stork into the box with some old coat. I think his neck was broken, because the stork couldn't lift it up. He almost can't move and when I took him away from the place where he falls, I put him on old cart (because there are a lot of cats there and was afraid that some of them can quickly find him and eat him) and when I returned to him with a box he was laying on the grass. (It is good that it was a grass and it didn't hurt him a lot, I hope) He fall from the cart, stupid I that I put him there and couldn't find any better place. So I put him into the box and I noticed that he breath hardly. So I run and found some syringe, took needle away and wanted to give him some water but it was too late, because he died. I hope that he will wake up again, but it was just my wishful thinking. I also thought about taking the little stork under the turkey with her babies. Because, I know my mom put chicken eggs under turkey and the turkey until they grow up enough don't see the differences. She cares about them like it her own kids.

people there in a village said that storks usually throw out egg if there is no pair for it. At first I thought that maybe there was no pair for this little stork.
And at first I thought about putting it back call one woman and asked her to ask one man to put him back to his nest. But she said that there is no point in it if they throw it away. Also they said that storks and swans if they do not find the pair in their life they committed sluiced. Just fly high up and then fall
straight to the ground. I confused a little bit about the storks, because about it said one guy in a village and I don't know exactly if people say about it. And I found the confirmation about the swans in the web, but about the storks no.
Also, when the small storks grow up, I found out that there are only three of them. It isn't pair, so it seems to me that it happened accidentally.
I was disappointed and blame myself that I couldn't save him. But what is good that even if he died, he died quickly and didn't feel a lot of pain.
And I don't know if I would be a good parent to him, so to say. Maybe I would just bring to this little stork a lot of pain in his life during his growing up.

Thanks Elisa and treesparrow for your replies.
