I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.
ok i was in Greely, Colorado the other day and a mother black bird was kicking her baby otu of the nest repeatedly after we put it back in the nest. So i brought it back to my house, Peyton, Colorado and it did fine. That is until about 2 days after ive had it here, it was eating and jumping around and stuff but then today i came in to feed again (eggs scrambled and finley smashed up with water and some baby formula) and it was laying on its side (this morning i noticed it had stopped chirping completley and was only making a weasing noise) i had no idea what to do so i hopped on the internet and tryed to find what i should dom and found nothing. He died about 15 minutes after i had seen him on his side. He was about 2-3 weeks old only had a few feathers and pink still showing, I would like to know why this happened. I beleive it could have been a respitory problem judging by the loss of chirping, but i had a heat lamp over him. *This was a BlackBird by the way* ANY ADVICE NEEDED!

…………..my folks have been feeding stray cats in their backyard for years,ocassionally birds would rush in,grab some pieces,then take off.And fast too; cats,you know?lol.
But out of nowhere a racoon(we think only the one) started eating the cat food too.And this is in the city also,not arural area.Just wondered if anyone knew things about them.And would they try to harm the cats?

I found a baby pidgeon on the road, it had feathers, but it caan barely fly…and there is no nest nearby, and I can find a pidgeon in sight. I put it in a box, with food and water. Does anyone know a place where they will take in a baby bird (in the Chicago Land area, or near it (northern Illinois))?
Thanks…
And I can’t keep it outside because it will be near the road, and it walks to the road a lot. Also because there are a lot of dogs that go on walks around my house.
THANKS!!
The bird appears to have fallen from a nest. I have it wrapped in toilet paper and have been feeding it sugar water (its drinking a lot). It has a lot of feathers, but is still missing some. Is there anything else I can do for it?

Just a note to (and in particular Answerer no 9, to the pregnant lady who’s bird had bugs) you think someone who tries to help a baby bird abandoned is wrong ?!? how dare you judge!……the parents can ONLY feed it moron!! not protect it from the likes of cats or cruel kids. All its doing is delaying the inevitable, your sick, your the cruel one. Well done to anyone who has taken it upon themselves to take the time to help rather than heartlessly walk away. This site is about HELPING people not using it to have a go you fuck wit.and as for Answerer no 1 ! who thinks to …Ewww Bin it?!? your heartless and twisted, get fucked the pair of you!. no-one wants help like yours, your pathetic.
