They are still mostly featherless with some pin feathers. I think this was the mocking bird nest I have seen all summer, they have had a few clutches. I have them in a shoe box with my softest hand towel. Who do I call?
The nest is in three peices and the branch that it used to be on has broken. I think I’ll call an animal shelter and see who they refer my to.

My sister and I found a baby bird on the ground in the middle of the yard. There were only very high branches above us. We give the baby bird a bug and a grub and also some water out of a syringe. Our neighbor works with animals and she told us once before that if you touch a bird its mother WILL come back for it. We put the bird in a shoe box with some leaves and grass then we put the baby bird in some shrubs to wait for its mother but if the mother does not come back we would not know the correct food to feed it. How can we kept this baby bird alive?

My husband was working in the back yard right around the time it was getting dark, and he found a baby robin. About 45 min. before that, I was out there and a bird swooped down right in front of my face! We didn’t see the baby then..and I was wondering why that bird had done that, now I know lol. Anyway, I have a cat pen with 3 cats in it, and the bird made it’s way to the edge of it, one of my cats stuck her paw out at it, so I got a paper towel, picked it up, and put it in a shoe box and then I sat the shoe box, with the lid off, right there at the tree where the nest is…did I do the right thing???
