I found him about 20 minites ago, he is healthy, easy to handle.
No problems, just got knocked out of a tree by wind.
What to feed him and how?
Will this little bird eat on his own?
Thank you!
Ok, I just turned him over and he has a bloody chest. He is in a laundry basket and very calm.
So, in the morning he is going to the wildlife vet.
Alright, here’s the situation.
Yesterday evening, my family found our cat attacking and trying to eat a baby Blue Jay. After getting it away from our cat, we put it in a box without handling it by our own hands with a sweater lining the bottom, and placed cat food softened with water in a bowl inside the box with it.
He made it through the night without dying of shock, and now he’s actually really vocal, and bouncing around inside the box trying to get out. We draped a towel over it to calm the bird. It’s still too young to fly, though, and the main problem?
We have NO idea where the nest is. We don’t seem to have any blue jays around here that this fellow could belong to.
So my problem now are two things: Feeding it, and getting it to a shelter.
So, can anyone hand me a website link of a center or shelter in Fresno, CA. that will take a baby blue jay and rehabilitate it, or take care of it? I’ve looked everywhere..
The bird is unharmed. It seems to have ruffled tail feathers, but other than that, it doesn’t appear to have any injuries.
I live in Oklahoma and I work at a pet store and a customer dropped off a baby blue jay and he has down feathers and some bigger feathers on his wings. Since we have Hand-Fed birds I am certified to hand-feed. i have been feeding him store bought baby bird formula and crickets. He has been eating really well and pooping good. He has a neck problem to where he cant keep his head straight but he is able to move it when he has an itch, so I know his neck isn’t broken. I need help to what blue jays eat and how often and how long to be hand-feeding him. If he lives he wont be able to go back into the wild because with all the other problems he is also blind in one eye! I have a dumb bird on my hands please someone give me advice.
He’s eating baby bird food fine, and we are keeping him warm and he (or she*heh*) is healthy…But I don’t know when we should wean him…And what do we feed him with? I basically need a long detailed explanation of what to do when caring for a baby blue jay…

The bird is fully feathered, but does not have it’s eyes open.
My dad works in a welding machine shop and they found a baby blue jay in one of the storage rooms. They looked all over the place and found No visible nests or other birds. So he brought it home in a box, and we called the wildlife group near us, and they can’t get out here for at least a month. However, They didnt tell me what to feed him, I’ve been cutting up worms and feeding him that way, but should I be giving him something else?
He’s NOT that old and it looks to be that he’s JUST getting his feathers.
He still has some of the baby fuzz on his head
He died this morning

There are many ducks out here, eating my garden plants. When a blue jay knocked over my feeder, the ducks came and now I can not get rid of them. I stopped putting food out for the birds. Several of my neighbors were putting bread on my deck. I have since blocked my deck off with potted plants. I have no idea what to do to make the ducks stop coming to my deck. Even when I stopped feeding them, they hangout in the yard. I stopped feeeding then 3 days ago.
