I found a sunbird after hitting the window hurt and stationary with cobweb attached to its head and beak. After sometime I tried to remove the cobweb and I think it may have been stuck to its little tongue. I feel I may have damaged the poor birds tongue in the process. It’s tongue remained protruding and didn’t go the whole way back in it is beak. The sunbird was already in a very bad way before hand but I fear I made things worse by pulling off the web not realising it was attached to its tongue. I looked after the bird for the night placing in a little makeshift nest and following protocols but I fear it tongue was completely damaged. It tongue did not go back into its beak at all. Any advice?
