Lovely thank you for this, Veer

Common Redpoll lying on the snow not far from the house. We went out,
picked it up, and put it in a small box. We hoped it was just stunned
from flying against the house when some predator scared up the whole
flock, but one wing looked as if it might have been bent. A full hour
later, the bird was standing in the box (it had been lying flat),
bright-eyed, looking around. I couldn’t see any injury but when I
took it outdoors and held it on my palm, it just stood there. I
brought it back into the warm house for another hour. A few minutes
ago, we took the little creature outdoors again, and this time it flew
like a dart from my hand, taking off after another redpoll. A happy
ending!!
