To not know how to deal with a sick/injured crow on my garden table?

I was putting the laundry out this morning and noticed my dog go up to the table outside. I was taken aback to see a crow (I think) just sitting on the table, hardly moving apart from the odd head movement. Obviously I knew something was wrong because it wasn't flying away. It's still there now and I've checked the RSPCA website which really doesn't help. I wonder if my dog caught it possibly and injured it when I wasn't looking. I'm really not sure what to do. I'm too scared to try and put it into a box.

It's just started moving more it's standing up now and attending to its wings with its beak... Argh. I really don't know what to do. There's only me at home! Does anyone have any advice please? I may end up asking my neighbour for help I think. I don't want my kids to see an injured bird when they get home from their dad's 😔

RSPB have advice on their website. Good luck!

Try and leave some dog biscuits and some water for it to hopefully build its strength up? I wouldn’t have a clue either. Clever birds though so treat it with kindness and it won’t ever forget.

I'm really hoping he/she will recover somehow
