The baby bird was found by my two little ones. We gently scooped it up and put it in a shoe box with some towels since it has no feathers to keep it warm. I did some research and have been feeding “it” chopped up egg yolk (hard) and a few bugs for protein and placing it (via toothpick) in the back of it’s throat. Evidently, according to what I have read, the baby birds need to eat every 20-30 minutes.
The baby has nearly NO feathers and it’s wings look skeletal. Besides what we are doing, we are clueless as to the age. No sign of a nest or other birds. The kids found it next to the bottom of our large trash can on the side of the house. It was shivering….it has eaten a bit; however, it takes it in, lies there with it’s eyes closed the whole time. It’s tried to open it’s eyes a couple times.
Please help us if you have any knowledge whatsoever. The origin is unknown, buy basing it on the birds around I would predict it is a robin or similiar.
