The bird is about one week old and was abandoned by the mother bird.
Does anyone have suggestions on how to feed it and or keep it alive?

Baby bird…. ok so my friend found a baby bird that fell out of it’s nest. Ho do you take care of a baby?

How do i care for this little bird?
My friend and i were going home from a store and we saw a dead baby bird, and then she saw another one we thought it was dead, too, but then it moved. She wanted to just leave it there and let it die, which may have been a good idea, but the other was dead, it was hot out, and flies and bugs were swarming all around it, so i picked it up, and took it home. I have pet birds, but those arent the same as a wild baby bird, and i know it wouldnt be good to give it their type of food. I put it in a nesting box, and in a separate cage and i need to know what to do with it. I dont know if it will survive, it is a large baby bird, and it has most of its feathers, but some are missing around its neck, i think it is getting better feathers. I got some water into it with a plastic syringe, just to keep it hydrated for now.
If anybody has any experience in raising wild baby birds, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Allie, I think it is about 2-3 weeks old.

ps: I think it also born before its normal birth time.. that’s why it is illogical trying to feed it with a worm etc..
What do I do with my pet parakeets, I have to go out of town for about 4 to 5 days.?
I have 2 pet parakeets, and I have to go out of town for about 4 to 5 days. I don’t know what to do with them. I was going to leave them with a friend and then someone told me that may not be a good idea. They said the birds may not adjust well to a new enviorment. My home is moderately quiet, because there is no one there, but my teenage daughter and myself. The person I was going to leave them with is single with no kids, so her house is usually quiet too. I also thought about leaving them with my brother, but he smokes. I don’t smoke, so my birds are not used to smoke, and I don’t want to exspose them to it. Someone said I should just give my brother the key to my house and ask him to come over everyday to feed them and give them fresh water, because again the shock of leaving them in an unfamiliar enviorment may be too much for them. I don’t know. What do you think. If any of you are veternarians or are just experienced bird owners, I would really appreciate your advice.
