Its a bird that I see alot of in CT I don’t know what its called anyway, my horses were kicking the shelter boxes and a nest fell out the parents took both of the other siblings and never came back for this one. I put it in a bucket with some grass and paper towels I read along time ago to soak dry cat food and feed them it. He wont eat the food how should I give it water and how often what should you put in their environment? help!
If the baby bird has a coat of feathers, its eyes are open, and it can hop about and flutter — put it back outside where you found it. If the parents and its siblings were able to fly away, they are probably still in the area and will take care of it.
If it does not have a coat of feathers or seems injured, DO NOT try to raise it yourself. Please take it to a local vet or wildlife rehabilitation center where it will receive the right kind of care. Not only are baby birds difficult to raise, it is illegal to keep most U.S. birds (even if you feel you are helping it) under the Migratory Bird Act.
Either put the baby back outside or take it to a professional.

Try an eye dropper. Mash up some worms and put in eye dropper, it should open its mouth for you to squit it in. Or try asking a pet store what to feed a baby bird that young.

You need to get this bird back to the parents..the parents are not capable of “taking” thier babies anywhere..I am sure the others are still around and the parents are feeding them as they were probably feeding the bird you took as well. If they are fully feathered..replace the bird in a safe spot..near where the nest was located and you can watch from afar (continually) to see if the parents are coming to feed. If unfeathered..try and put the nest with the chick back into it and repalce it in the original spot and once again watch from a hidden area for the parents. ONLY if you are positive the parents are not tending to the chick, then you need to get it to a local wildlife rehab:
