    If it isnt badly hurt ,bring it to an animal doctor. I dont think they will kill it. If not, try asking some doctors on what to do.

    They don’t just kill animals for the fun of it… they kill animals to save them from pain when they cannot be treated.

    Phone a wild-life sanctuary, but they will treat it in the same way.

    Most vets are nice to animals that are found in the wild. I would suggest calling your local one and asking them what their suggestion would be A Lot of places have programs and things of that nature that can help the baby hawk get better!

    Call the ASPCA in your area.They won’t kill the bird if they can save it. ;o)

    Call your local wildlife shelter or animal control. Animal control WILL NOT kill a baby hawk; they’ll take it to a licensed wildlife rehabillitator who will help it get better and learn how to be a grown-up hawk. It is illegal in many areas to kill a bird of prey, so your baby will be quite safe with animal control.

    Don’t touch it or move it too much. You don’t know what’s wrong and even a baby hawk can hurt you. If you move it, you could damage it more. Watch it for a while and see if the mother is coming by and feeding it. If it’s cold in your area, consider carefully placing a blanket over the *****.

    Since it’s a hawk, see if your area has a refuge for injured birds( since alot of raptors are endangered many places have them).

    Call a local wildlife rehabilitator..they will not kill it if its injuries can be repaired. They will get it released back into the wild if at all possible. Look for a local rehab here:
