Taking care of a newborn bird…am i doing it right?
My mom and i found a newborn bird tonight. It doesnt have feathers…its reddish pink and bald. It hasn’t opened it’s eyes. I googled it to find out what to feed it. It told me to feed it every 45min and this is the recipe it provived: 1cup dry dog/ cat food soaked….a hard boiled egg…one fourth applesauce and vitamins…mixed up like oatmeal. I fed it to the bird and i am going to bed now….should i wake up every 45min or will it be okay until 2maro morning? It is sleeping in a container with crumpled up towel unter a nice heating pad with a towel in between. is there any other accomodations i should make for it? Do you know any hot-lines or places that could take it?
Bird Feed…?
Many people have told me my birds need to be on a pellet diet. I know they are full of vitamins and all that jazz…but I feed mine seed. That is what they would find in the wild…I also provide fresh fruits and vegetables regularly. My birds are living healthily and happily. I just don’t see what the big deal is about pellets. Can someone please explain?
