The bird appears to have fallen from a nest. I have it wrapped in toilet paper and have been feeding it sugar water (its drinking a lot). It has a lot of feathers, but is still missing some. Is there anything else I can do for it?

Bees in my humming bird feeder, how do I prevent them and keep the hummingbirds?
I have tried making a sweeter feed mix 2 to 1 sugar water, in an another feeder and attracting the bees away, from the 4 to one hummingbird mix, (didn’t work) the bees just used both feeders, I tried spraying the bees and the feeder with soap and water, it chased the bees away for about 5 min but the soap migrates into the syrup and is not as attractive to the birds, The bees still come.

We use Hospira’s 70% dextrose at the hospitial to make nutrition bags for people. Since it is sugar water in its purest form can it be diluted to a 4-1 ratio for humming birds?
Feeding a baby Sparrow?
I was out side yesterday and a tiny little Sparrow came hopping into my garage. He’s smaller than an egg. I looked for his nest and couldn’t find it. I ask my girlfriend and she said there was nothing I could do. I left him outside; hiding under a flower pot. This morning I got up and he had made it through the night. I mixed up some sugar water and have been feeding it to him through the day. He’s alive. He can’t fly. His parents can’t lift him back to the nest. And I don’t think he can live on sugar water alone. Any ideas on what to feed a tiny little baby bird?

I found a baby bird and was wondering what to feed it. Ideas?
I fell from the loft in a barn, but truly seems too big and leggy to be a barn swallow. Three total fell, barn cat got other two. This one seems stronger than others. It is begining to get feathers and seems willing to eat finely chopped worms. It was very offended by sugar water.
