Maybe you call the animal conservation or zoo, to see whether they could help it?

No one would take it. so we fed it and it got healthier really quickly. But we had to release it. It was hurting himself trying to get out. And he could fly really well. We havnt seen him for a while. but, we helped him to live, so I am happy that I at least made his life a bit longer than it would have been.

Thanks!

It perched there for a few seconds only, and flew away after that.
My first ever Kingfisher shot!
