I had the same thing happen pretty recently when my beasts caught an unfortunate bird in the back garden.
Here's what you do (as i was told from the RSPCA) and their phone service is automated to also include a message re young birds (injured and unharmed).
Basically, if the creature is injured or unable to be rescued by the adult birds its a case of ringing the RSPCA and holding for an operator who will then tell you a local vet who will be willing to care for the animal until it is able to be collected on behalf of the RSPCA and then they will release the animal in a suitable environment after the creature is well enough it be released.
The bird ginger or fuzz caught also had its tail feathers removed (which will grow back) but also had one leg broken!!
This bird was very lucky as it managed to evade Ginger for a second time, after he caught it from inside a box while i was waiting on the RSPCA to tell me a local vet!!
Hopefully this bird will be good and not revisit the garden and in turn tell all his or her friends not to crap on any motorcar i possess now or at any point in the future.
