Spring is a wonderful time. But also problematic. Birdfall begins in April and May. These are chicks who have lost their parents for one reason or another. These are adult birds weakened after winter. So we have a replenishment. Here's this charming brown turtledove. This lady has problems with the flight. The bird has no visible injuries. My version is that she has a problem with the protozoa that break her health. I hope that the course of special anthelmintic drugs and vitamins will be able to correct the situation. It is unlikely that she will have time to have chicks this year, but next year she will have every chance.
In general, I want to say what I repeat every year. Most people are kind and have good intentions. But before you take a bird or a chick and bring it to a veterinary clinic, you need to decide whether the bird really needs help. For example, a swift cannot take off directly from the ground. To help the bird, it is enough to plant it on a vertical surface, where it can be caught with its paws. The owl chicking is a champion of hiking. But don't worry - it can always call parents and they will find it. There are many such examples. I offer the following criteria when you make a decision: the presence of danger to life (cats, dogs, cars), bird health (the bird is sick or injured). If it's not, but your help is probably not needed.

You are right in what you say about things to consider when making a decision, because some birds certainly don't usually need our help.
I once received a visit from an injured pigeon, it had a broken wing, not the bone, but the flesh, because it was bleeding.
It was at home for a couple of weeks and I fed it, even ate with my cat, but one day I woke up and didn't see it, so I guess it flew away.
How are you dear friend @torem-di-torem Good morning
What a shame that the same thing happens every year, luckily for them, there are people like you willing to help.
Excellent advice you give
I take this opportunity to wish you a wonderful Sunday
