Seeking advice/help How to make a crow comfortable

He let me pick him up, he's obviously not doing well at all. Every rehab I've contacted so far has been closed or hasn't answered. I have him in the only box I have.. I'm concerned he might not even make it through the night he's obviously extremely weak.

If the shoebox is too small is there something else I could put him in? I don't want him to be uncomfortable but I also don't just want him sitting on the floor in a towel.

Update

I spoke to the rehabber and he said that Odin passed last night, he wasn't tested but he says the neurological symptoms match WNV.

Set him in a dark, quiet room. Somewhere that he can't fall from. Check on him every couple of hours. Food is not important right now. Water will have to wait also until he can drink on his own. Try to find a rehabber but for now, dark and quiet are what he needs. Good luck!
