I had a similar experience happen to me but I was sadly unable to save it. I hope you have better luck. I just Googled What to feed a baby bird it said that 9 out of 10x the parents won't abandon it, unless the parents were caught be a predator. So you can make a nest and set it in a shrub and if the parents don't come in 2 hours then you should start feeding it. You could get one of Ralph's dog bones break it up in water and syringe feed it. It needs to be room temperature.
ReplyDeleteyeah I would also suggest making a mush from Ralph's food or of bread and water and using either a syringe or eye dropper. Maybe start with water first? And from what I hear they need to eat quite frequently. I hope you find something that works. I wonder what kinda of bird it will turn out to be? I would guess Robin.
ReplyDeleteyour're right. It doesn't look like a bird.
