Hi mteresa,

First, deeply thanks for your sharing and rescuing the swift, although it was died finally.
I am sadly to tell you that Little Swift fallen on the ground is sometime quite common and mortality rate is quite high. It may because they are small birds and they may get a internal serious injury when they fallen from a high place.
  
In Hong Kong, there are 2 Animal Rescue Hotline, one is 1823 (AFCD) and another is 2711 1000 (SPCA Animal Rescue and Cruelty Investigation 24 hours hotline).
If you meet the fallen Little Swift again, please call either these 2 hotline ASAP. And both the staff of these 2 dept./org. will send the bird to KFBG Animal Recue Center.

And your sharing made me thinking about that whether we can post some notice around the staircase to tell the people can try to save the fallen swift by calling these 2 Animal Rescue Hotline.
We may try to contact HKU again later.

Thanks for your kindness and sharing again!

Teresa! Thank you so much for your Big Big Help and information again.
I understand the H5N1 is a big worry to the campus. But I think I still can try to ask them post some notice around there to tell staffs and students where they can ask for help when they find a swift fell on the floor.
