I am asking this because today I found an injured bird in my front yard. 
I obviously gave it some care such as water, warm material to comfort it etc.. then I tried to find the appropriate information with what I should do. I called up animal emergency who then put me in contact with local vet who I drove to. They then will already have decided whether to save it or humanely put it down in a painless way.

I believe I did the right thing, as did the animal emergency line and the local vet however there have been people who argued that I should have just 'stomped' on it's head and put it out of it's misery. They think it's quicker and it's a waste of time finding information and travelling.
