In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: A compass needle can be made from any piece of metal that can be magnetized. A sewing needle is a straightforward, practical choice, especially since it's an item you'd normally find in a first aid or survival kit that you might have on hand on a backpacking trip. You could also try these other "needles": A paperclip A razor blade A safety pin A hairpin " You can magnetize your needle using a variety of methods: tapping it with a piece of steel or iron, rubbing it with a magnet, or rubbing it on another item that magnetizes it with static electricity. A refrigerator magnet works well for this purpose. You can also buy plain magnets from craft stores. You can use a steel or iron nail, horseshoe, crowbar, or other household item if you don't have a magnet. The hair and fur shown in the photo should be ignored! To magnetize a piece of metal, only another magnet will do the trick. Rubbing it can electrically charge it - but not magnetize it. In addition to a needle and a magnetizer, you'll need a bowl or jar, some water, and a coin-sized cross section of cork.
Summary: Decide what to use for your compass needle. Choose a needle "magnetizer. Gather additional materials.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Injured birds, whether wild or domestic, feel much better when they are wrapped up in something protective, like a towel. It will help the bird stay calm, and it will also keep the bird from moving more and hurting itself. Try to protect the injured wing when you wrap the bird in the towel. Gently place the injured wing against the bird's body (not bent in a funny way) and wrap the bird snugly in the towel. Place a towel on the bottom of a shoebox for added comfort, then put the bird on top of it. Make sure the box has a lid that you can close securely to ensure the bird doesn't escape and hurt itself more. For a larger bird, you may need to choose something larger to carry it in. Try a hard-sided cat carrier or a larger cardboard box. Make sure any box you put a bird in has some ventilation holes so that the bird can still breathe inside the box. A bird with a broken wing (or other injury) should not be moved except when absolutely necessary, even if it is your pet bird. This will help prevent further injury for the bird. Pick the bird up with a towel, wrap it in a towel, and place it in a shoebox. Then don't move the bird again unless absolutely necessary. In the bird's weakened state, it is very possible that it will need extra help staying warm. Try putting a warm water bottle in the box with the bird to provide some additional heat. Make sure the water bottle is in a place where the bird can get away from it if it gets too hot. Since the bird can't move around much while it is injured and wrapped in a towel, you should put the water bottle in the opposite end of the box and monitor the bird for signs of overheating. If the bird starts panting, remove the water bottle immediately. You'll need to periodically remove the lid to the box to check and see if the bird is panting. While you are deciding what course of action to take, put the injured bird in a safe place where it will be warm and out of harm's way. Keep it somewhere dimly lit and quiet so the bird can feel more calm. The bird should be kept away from small children or other animals who might attack it or accidentally injure it more.
Summary: Wrap the bird in a towel. Put the bird into a shoebox. Move the bird as little as possible. Provide an extra heat source. Put the bird in a warm, safe place while you figure out what to do next.
