Maybe bad news on the falcons

Had a call at work today. One of the falcons seemed "weird".
It was just sitting on the ground and wouldnt fly to escape

I came home, found it was hiding but could just pick it up.
It was scared but didnt put up any big fight.

I checked it all over but couldnt find anything wrong that was visable.
I then called the "wild life station" who are supposed to handles situations like this.
They asked for its size and my background and then decided I should keep it and see if I could save it
Because of my work at the animal shelter were we also had birds, I could do the job just aswell as they could (or so they said).
So they told me to feed it about two mice a day and (if I could find any) a road killed bird
In their opinion it would be flying within a week

So IŽm a falcon mummy for the next week it seems
Hope I can manage and should anyone have any advice, please feel free to speak up

HereŽs the poor falcon who lifeŽs is in my hands ( ):







Help??
