A friend of mine found a baby robin. It was a fledgeling and she didn’t know any better and thought it was abandoned. I know a FEW things about bird rescuing so she called me. We placed the baby back under the tree where she found it, and the mother is now feeding it again. Still…I’ve never raised one to the point of release. I’ve always taken the truly needy to the local rehab, BUT…I wanted to know if anyone knew how THEY rehabilitate baby birds to the point where they can be released and have a chance at survivial. Does anyone know how they teach wild birds to find the right foods, or if a rehabilitated bird will migrate like the rest of it’s species?
