Baby Bird Help?
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.
what should i feed a wild baby bird who almost has all of its feathers?
i found one today i wanted it to live so i wondered what i should feed it
I found a wild baby bird and it just died, does anyone know why?
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!

Urgent! Any suggestions as to what my baby bird is?
It has down and almost completely covered by feathers. It is brown, like the color of cardboard boxes, with small black dots over it. Its beak is small and is not curved at the end, rather straight, but not like those little birds. Plus, when it walks it raises its legs. It seems to have the potential to grow into one of those big birds, like an owl.
By the way, I live in south TX, down by the Rio Grande Valley, which is right on the border of the US and Mexico. I hope this info helps. I’d really appreciate it, specially if you have any idea as to what I can feed it.
How can i release a baby bird safetly?
I have a baby bird that has most of his feathers and is trying very hard to fly. I found him just yesterday at a park on the floor so i took him in. He cannot fly or perch. He crawls a lot and flaps his wings untill hes out of breath.
Should i return him where i found him or keep him in my care until he learns to fly?
Right now hes eating moist cat food and is in a soft box.
I feed him every hour.
My baby bird that i found is having troubles breathing?
He has most of his feathers but cannot perch or fly yet. He flaps his wings a whole lot and tries to crawl. He eats well, i feed him moist cat food.
What other foods are better?
Is his breathing normal? If not, what do i do?
Is the flapping of wings normal?
