For example, a broken wing will hang, and an inclined head may suggest concussion or a damaged ear. Look for wounds, unusual behaviour, movements or posture such as lopsidedness. Capture and transport Prepare a suitable transport box for the animal before attempting capture. Cardboard boxes will need airholes punched into them and can be slippery for birds. Line the bottom of the box with newspaper, old towels or an old blanket.
Animals can become aggressive and difficult to handle when scared or injured.
They may try to defend themselves with wings, teeth, beak or claws. Wear gloves for protection. A confident yet gentle approach is best. At least two people are needed for the capture of larger animals such as an adult wallaby. If you are inexperienced at handling wildlife or do not have any rescue gear please do not attempt to capture the animal, instead seek expert help.
