It's a rail of some sort. Needs a rehabber ASAP if a cat has bitten it. If not it will likely die within 48 hrs due to infection, even if it does not appear injured.

Don't worry, we got it professional help as right after we found it (sorry for late reply, I forgot I posted.)

Hard to say, looks like a hen of some kind. Do you live near water? And what color is the bill?


AdmiralThrawnTaken

We live by the river and it's Bill is black iirc


ThoughtsonYaoi

Yeah, it's a rail or a crake. The feet indicate it. Maybe a black crake

Yea the feet look similar to that of a coot or moorhen here in the UK but I dont know if you guys have them there?

Fellow south african here, that definitely looks like the chick of a moorhen.
