While i was waiting for my mom to pick me up from youth group I found a baby bird with no feathers. It looked like it was recently hatched. I thought it was dead because it was on the steps on its back but when i touched it it moved. So I brought it home,(after i looked for the nest, not successful) and put it in a cardboard box on toilet paper under a heat lamp. That was Wednesday and it has now been 3 days and it is very frisky. I am feeding it small pieces of worms, but what else should i feed it? And what would b the best way to water it? From a syringe? Is there anything else i could do to help it grow and not die. I know baby birds are hard to hand raise and most die, but I wanna try. Please no mean comments or anything, only helpful tips. Thanks!
Rachael – it was getting dark and it is a tiny feather-less fledgling on concrete steps on its back. I doubt it’s mother was coming for it.
but don’t mothers feed them worms? And i can’t seem to find info on fledglings and what kind it is! :O
oops i meant hatching 
do i use wet dog food or dry? is cat food alright to?
