i was opening my shed today and i found that a nest next to my shed had been ripped off and the baby birds inside were thrown out on the ground, all were dead (there were 4 of them all together) but one, the 1 that is alive is in a cardboard box that has an old birds nest from a previouse cat attack, the nest is all together, the bird is sitting inside, with a heatlamp shining on the side of the nest to warm it up, not directly on it, but my question is how often should i feed it? and what? i wound some worms in my backyard and fed it 3 of them, just little tiny ones, about 1-1.5 in long, it gobbled those up strait away. then it pooped in my hand. (i washed my hands with soap befor and after i touched the bird thank you). the bird seems active, it almost stood up, rolled around onmy hand, shook its head and opend its eyes. so what should i feed it and how often? and yes i know its tecnically “illegal” to care for a wild bird.
