He or she is a bird, s/he is used to being outside all the time, even in the rain, so s/he may not feel as bad about the situation as you do. Bring him in, leave him out, or take him to a wildlife rehabilitation center, there still may not be much you or anyone else can do for him if he has internal injuries. Depends on how involved you want to become. I worked at a wildlife rehab place for five years. There is only so much one can do. You can try to help if you want, but realize that sometimes carp happens. Try to find a local nature center or library or someplace that can give you the number of a wildlife rehabber. Maybe just talking to that person on the phone can help you assess what can be done. Often, when birds break their wings, especially if it is small bird, they can't bet set and can't ever fly again. Sometimes they can, but the failure rate is much higher than the sucess stories. I'm not trying to be callous, I know how you feel, believe me, any compassionate person would feel the same. But this is a bird's life. This happens to millions of birds all the time, you just don't see it. Window crashes are a huge cause of bird fatalities. Some even argue that it is the number one cause of mortality, even beyond predators.

I saw the post heading but did not look at the date. We too live in Canada - Toronto - and last Friday received a 4 page flyer from Animal Control re the increasing population of Coyotes in Toronto - and near our house - a few blocks away there is a big park, but the coyotes are becoming increasing brave and venturing further afield in search of food - and people have been feeding the coyote "puppies". They are competing with raccoons and skunks - they are of course a nuisance but a far cry from a raccoon. Re the OP's question re a Coyote jumping a 6 ft. fence - most definitely. Heck our 22 lb. dog can jump a 5 ft. from a standing position. I called Animal Control and was told to be careful, particularly in the early a.m. and evening - of course it is dark - and to never put our dog in the yard alone - we don't do this anyway. And to always have him on a leash - which he is. But dogs are being attacked by Coyotes while on leash, including a Chocolate Lab, not that far from here. His Mom beat off the 2 Coyotes who were biting him and then they came back for more - Mom and dog got away thankfully. In one area not far from us, Coyotes have been seen looking in windows checking for dogs and cats. Suggested deterrents are coins in a can (useless - they don't even scare my dog) - or small air horns - I got the last one at Sport Chek much to the dismay of other shoppers. I know the noise will hurt our guy's ears, but better that than the alternative. People are being told to take down bird feeders since Coyotes will search them out - I feel sorry for the birds who will return each year for food, but.... The Coyotes of course are looking for food since so much of their native habitat is now covered with houses. This problem will get worse - and a child has been bitten by a Coyote in the GTA. I for one would be eaten I guess by a Coyote while trying to save our dog. My friend owns a store in Toronto and was written up in the local area newspaper. On the adjoining page there was an article about the increase of Coyotes in Toronto and how to deal with the problem. Quite a large write-up. I did a Coyote search on our dog's specific breed forum and many people in the U.S. are facing the same issue but many states allow people to protect themselves in ways that Canadian laws do not - so an air horn it is - as well as having a fit during the early morning and night walks when we hear a noise or rustling in the bushes! Animal Control suggested speaking with neighbours to best devise ways to deal with garbage and keep pets safe - so far - zip. Cats are still being let out to run loose - and some people feel that since the major park isn't right across the street (well there is a park across the street - just a different one) that they need not worry. The usual case of "it couldn't happen to me". There are a couple of people though who are worried, thankfully.

Hi Trisha57 thank you for replying and caring. Solid wood flooring would not work in my home since I live on the preserved wetlands in a townhouse with concrete floors and no basement. To install a plywood subfloor in order to install solid wood floors would raise my floor way higher than my 3/8th thick Porcelain Ceramic Tile and also be a problem with doors in the other room. I also plan to do tile in the kitchen and really would like my wood floors to be around the height of my kitchen floors and my two foyer area floors. My client today showed me that the BR-111 might be thinner at 3/8th thick with the 3 MM wood on top but it fits together so much better and is tighter fit. The Coswick Rift & Quarter Sawn White Oak (with the 4 MM real wood on top) fits together the best and is so nice also. I just wanted to know if anyone heard of this flooring and if they had, what comments they had about it. The 3 MM real wood on top & the 4 MM real wood on top can be refinished also and sanded if need be.

Stacy, Covered Bridge is an American company, however they do their manufacturing in Cambodia. This doesn't detract from the quality of the cabinets from what I can see. As a designer that works for a large dealer that sells 10 different kitchen cabinet lines, I can tell you that I originally was hesitant to sell them when they first came on board. After seeing the displays come in, along with numerous success stories from other designers, I decided to give it a try. Since I started pushing the product, I've gotten nothing but positive feedback. The designers love it because the company has many options, and is very reasonable with custom requests. The homeowners love it because it's a custom cabinet that prices as reasonably as semi-custom, and the facility has excellent quality control that bypasses much of the headaches normally associated with kitchen projects. Don't let the origin of the product scare you. I would go to a Covered Bridge dealer and see the product in person. The quality speaks for itself.
