I did initially take it home to give it a tiny bit of water as it is a VERY hot day- anyway i took it back for about an hour to see if the mother would come back but when i returned the bird was freezing (it has no feathers but they do look like they are starting to come out). Anyway i have taken it back home and put it in a box with paper towels/grass and some old nest that we found at the bottom of our garden- i have been feeding it every 20 mins since with mushed up dog food and the occasional bit of water- the bird definately seems to have perked up and has begun moving it head more and twitching and the last time i fed it it even made some noises- is there anything else i can do to make sure the bird has the best chances? i have read up on it but i just want to know if there is any more info? thanks x
- will it become dependent on me as its mother as i will be leaving home in a month – is this too soon?
