My mother and her broken rook

[bunn]

Phonecall from my mother to say that she has had a rook with a damaged wing stuck in her back garden for several days, and will I come over and help her catch it so she can take it to the vet as despite being fed and watered and given a perch to sit on, it does not seem to be improving. 

Rooks are Beyond My Expertise, so any tips on rookwrangling would be much appreciated.

I can now add, with the combined weight of experience and a helpful rook expert behind me, that rooks appear to be not aggressive birds!

I wore gloves and sleeves lest I should be slashed at, but he didn't try. He should be off to a wildlife centre shortly for rehabilitation, if the vet thinks the wing can be saved.
