Determining What's Wrong Any normal, healthy, wild bird, when
approached by a human being, will fly away. If it doesn't,
something is wrong with it. Most times one of the following is
what's wrong: It's too young to fly away. (see the section
called Young Birds) It's been injured and can't fly away. (see
the section called Injured Birds) It's sick and too weak to fly
away. (see the section called Sick Birds) - It's tame (probably
because it was improperly raised in captivity) and doesn't know
it should fly away. Next: Young Birds
