How to care for a poorly sparrow and what's wrong with her?

Hi

We have found this sparrow in our back garden. It looks like the sparrow is shuffling on her front part. She seems to be able to stand up but not walk or anything. But she can get about on her front using her wings. We caught her and have bought her in and put her in an old cage. She has eaten and drunk a little. We think she's broke a leg or two?? Any ideas what could be wrong? If so he to treat it??

If you need pictures leave your email address and I'll send you some. Would be grateful for any help

Thanks (10 points for help)

    Try to local a wildlife rehabilitator in your area that rehabs birds. The little sparrow appears to need more care than you are able to give it. Thanks for taking it in as it would have surely died without you

    Without examing the legs, it is impossible to know what is wrong.

    Best to find a wildlife rehabber, at once. You got this answer already.

    Call vets and your local humane society - they may know a rehabber.
