How to help a swift

At this time of the year, people often call with the question of how to help the swift. Handling this amazing bird requires following some rules.

Swifts eat and drink during the flight; they cannot eat on the ground. Therefore, it is necessary to create a suspended state for it.

A swift cannot be placed in a cage! Take a terry towel and hang it on the side of the box. The bird clings to the towel with its claws and hangs.

The swift eats insects. You can offer it to cockroaches, but the hard shell must be removed. And you need to give water drop by drop from a dropper.

Watch out for plumage! It must be clean and healthy, otherwise the bird will not be able to return to flying.
