[71GA]

How to feed it then? Can i use a toothpick?

[TheWithoutInstrument]

would it work on baby love birds

[whyismykittyabutt55]

I usually add some "buggy berries" which is powdered and dried insect product as a protien boost. Nice video tho it seems to help a lot of people. Who ever knew dog/cat food was perfect for starlings!

[MsJacquese99]

can cheerios be given to a wild chick? Is it harmful?

[TaniaLouise79]

How much water did you add to the container? (ratio: 1 cup of cat food to X cup water)

[nickandfallon]

@TaniaLouise79 There really isn't an exact amount of water I use because some brands of cat food soak up more water than others for some reason. The best case scenario would be to add ample amounts of water, and just drain out the excess after the food has soaked it all up. :)

[PenguinPuff91790]

Does it HAVE to be cat food? Im using dog food for my orphans..

[nickandfallon]

@PenguinPuff91790 If its just temporary, dog food will work fine. Cat food is recommend over dog food though because it usually has more protein, something that is very important for growing baby birds.

[ilovepurple1203]

i found a baby bird in my backyard its a new born i think its a finch will this food work for him\her ???????????

[shehannahgens]

I just found an orphaned sparrow and I was wondering if it was absolutely necessary to add the vitamins. I've read that certain higher quality dog and cat foods have enough supplemental enzymes and vitamins that the addition of the liquid vitamins wasn't a necessity but you seem fairly knowledgable and it seems like you have first hand experience raising baby birds, so I'd like your thoughts.

[ilovepugglefish1]

[ilovepugglefish1]

good job thank you this helped a lot i just found a baby bird my cat was about to eat good thing i got there on time :)

[PeaceLovinSmiley]

[RobertJamesMacKay]

I have a very large bird.

[jessexD500]

Hot or cold water???

[multi1up]

does it work for baby pigeons

[Jayhawkgirl98]

Would it be the same if the cat food was replaced with dog food?

[nickandfallon]

@Jayhawkgirl98 It wouldn't hurt if you just did it temporarily, but I still recommend cat food versus dog food as it usually has higher protein.

[Jayhawkgirl98]

Would this work on a really small baby cardnal?

[TheAmilia]

i found a baby collared dove,will this food help???

Amyborn07@yahoo.com.

[XxKittyxXxCatxX]

Hi could you give me the name of the brand or a link to the vitamin product you use? I have a baby bird and am trying to rehabilitate it.

[Hurleychic88]

Haha I do this!!! Ppl don't believe me when I tell them I use cat food. Most of the other people used milk and worms and they always died, but not eating the cat food. :) great video!!

[Hurleychic88]

Haha I do this!!! Ppl don't believe me when I tell them I use cat food. Most of the other people used milk and worms and they always died, but not eating the cat food. :) great video!!

[pelucitadered]

I rescued 3 baby sparrows whose nest fell down. They are about 2 weeks old. I've been feeding them Kaytee cockatiel baby food. Would dry dog food work as well? I noticed that there are tiny red mites on the nest I made them. I have cockatiels, so, I'm concerned. I'm keeping the baby birds isolated from my birds. When they are grown, I'll be releasing them, but my concern is their survival outdoors and if they will eat, being that they're dependent on my feeding them. Can you advise?

[Dano78229]

u should put tht vitamin stuff in the water as u put the food in there as it is dry, so it actualy sucks it up other then just being swished around in it

[thecarpdude]

Would this be Ok for ANY wild bird

[TheChocolateFireAnt]

would this be ok for a baby Noisy Miner bird?

[jennylynn32181]

thank you, very helpful. I just found a baby bird on my deck about a day ago, but I've just been feeding it bread mushed up and soaked in milk, I knew there was something better I could be feeding it. Thanks for the advice, hope the little guy likes it!

[xMySimplicity]

Can baby robins eat this too? :o

[lilrene369]

[nightengale379]

[jwebb2222]

[KoprowskiG119]

[jennie5347]

would this work on baby parrot?

[nickandfallon]

It wouldn't hurt, but for a parrot, i would recommend buying store-bought baby bird food, as their nutritional requirements are a little different

[airbusa380BIGfan]

@jennie5347 everybody i wanted to ask everyone that is it ok if get any kind of cat food

[MsYuriMcFlurry]

oh man this is so helpful :D

I just found a bird and trying to feed it x)

I do have a question. How long can a baby bird go on without food? She wouldn't eat yesterday, so I somewhat forced her to eat just in case her stomach was empty.

[animallove1993]

hey will this work??

i found two baby black birds in my yard i have been feeding them the mushed up cat biscuts and they have been eating it

so i doesnt kill them??:):) thnx heaps

[thethirst4knowledge]

iv been feeding mine worms and this mixture and fruit and iv had her for 2 weeks.. it wont kill them :) just make sure you handle them with care

[lovepuppies74]

Does it work for pigeons?

[SugarGlidrz]

Will this work with a pigeon fledgling??

Im a little over my head

[narutoxman]

the one i found in my backyard wont open its beak what is wrong?

[nejitenfan]

i found a baby sparrow that jumped from its nest twice and now im tring to feed it but it is afriad of me because when we found if at our house party all the little kids crowded him he is at least 6 days old

[Rickiesgurl]

does this formula work well for wild blue jays???

[nickandfallon]

Yes, it works great for Blue Jays as well.

[darcyoas]

after I make up a batch, do I have to keep it in the refrigerator or can I leave it out on the counter so it stays room temp?

[nickandfallon]

I recommend keeping it in the fridge so it doesnt go bad. When it is about 10 minutes before feeding time, i take out a little and microwave it for a few seconds. ALWAYS check with the tip of your finger, to make sure its not too hot after microwaving.

[Ad3m08]

would this food work for baby goldfinches?

[SuperJenny123456]

@nickandfallon does this work on baby robins ?

[tmghunt]

hi i wanna know that can i feed this to my baby finches and also i wanna know that at what age i should start them to feed and will this thing affect the finches mom and dad... thank you

[nickandfallon]

For finches, i would suggest that you buy the pet store's baby bird food because it is more nutritionally sound for a Finch. But until then, this recipe will do just fine. :)

[Momokohyperblossom]

what if the dird is about 1 to 2 days old?

[toolatenow2k8]

okay so does wild bird include mockingbirds cuz i just found a baby one outside and saved it from my cat, who was about to pounce on it. and i rrreeeeeaaaaallllllyyyyy want to try this and give to my neighbor,who hapily took the baby bird in and put in his old hamster cage. please anser soon!:)

[nickandfallon]

Yes, this recipe works for most wild birds, including mockingbirds, Robins, Sparrows, and Starlings.

[Idropkickedmurphy]

I've come into care of a baby sparrow, this is very helpful. I'm using Science Diet Kitten food, as I also have a little kitten around. Hopefully this little guy is gonna grow up nice and big :)

[wikkan77]

i recomment KITTEN food, higher in protein than cat food

[elementgrrl]

yay yay yay

my cat just saved a baby sparrow and brought it to me....(no booboos at all -- and he mewed as he brought it to me) now I can feed him -- he is almost ready to fly!!

[jigsawpandas]

Oh my God- thank you! I just found a hatchling, breathing great, wiggly, and I can't find any baby bird food for him anywhere! You are so awesome, thanks so so so much!

[MontanaKatie]

thank you so much- my cat brought in ayoung fledgling dove- now I can feed it and hopefully a few days rest it will be able to fly. thank you so much

[yehoshua767]

hi thanx alot for the vid it rely helped me because i relly wont a pet sprrow but i wonted to know how much food to give them

thanx!!

[CoreReactor]

Use Science Diet LIGHT cat food. Birds don't digest fats the way mammals do. Its high in protein, and easier on the stomach.

I've worked at a wild bird rehabilitation center for years... it's standard there.

NEVER RELEASE A BIRD BACK INTO THE WILD UNLESS IT CAN IDENTIFY AT LEAST THREE TYPES OF NATURAL FOODS ON ITS OWN. (please don't imprint the bird)

[HYPERKINETICENERGY]

will this work for a swallow?

[nickandfallon]

Yes, absolutely! The higher the protein, the better

[HYPERKINETICENERGY]

thanks!!!

[bergren22]

what about parakeet food ?

[nickandfallon]

I wouldnt recommend parakeet food for wild baby bird. The reason for this is parakeets, and other pet-store birds, are mainly seed eaters. Wild birds are mainly insect eaters, so they require a higher amount of protein. Pet store baby bird food doesnt have a high enough amount of protein. However, if you are just going to use it until you make some better baby bird food, it wont hurt. :)

[imhaj]

i have some cat food it has prawns,tuna,cod,vegetablesand toothcare plus its called vitacat tip to tailcomplete

[imhaj]

and room temperature for pigeons to

[imhaj]

do you have to warm it up?

[nickandfallon]

Room temperature is the best, because warming it up can get it too hot for the baby birds to tolerate.

[heather815855]

can this be for baby zebra finch or not if not do u have a recipe for them if so please tell me

[wellsht]

I forgot use Avian Vitamins according to label.

[suckyfriend05]

Can this receipe be used on pet birds like Cockatiels?

[nickandfallon]

It's recommended to buy Pet Store brand baby bird food for baby birds such as Cockatiels, parakeets, etc. This is because they less protein and fat than wild birds, and more seeds, etc.

[jenna7594]

can i use this for baby pigeons.

and do i have to add the bird vitamin dropps??

[nickandfallon]

Yes, you can use this for Pigeons as well. The bird vitamin drops arent absolutely nessasary, they are just a precaution mostly. I would strong recommend it.

[nickandfallon]

Yes, that should be just fine.

[e7snype]

my sparrow has jam on its head and it wont come off what should i do

[coldfreshwater]

Can dogfood or catfood in a can(the moist variety) be used instead of the dry?

[nickandfallon]

It CAN, but it is usually lower in Protein and fat. Try and find one near 33% protein and 13% fat.

[budgielover9]

I love you! i took a finch egg from a next on my pouch because it mother died or left it. i watched for days so how bout i save and i found out how to a candel and it is alive!! due to hatch in 10 days and ill feed that!!! so happy! :) it had bright red vains not black so it is alive and i see it head. TY

[toluca9]

can u use this for a cardinal? we found it in my friends yard and we dont know what to feed it

[nickandfallon]

Yes, this would work great for a Cardinal as well. I also recommend adding a tad of applesauce to the food. Good luck!

[toluca9]

oh kool thanx!

[hazeliris13]

thank you so much! now all i need is to get my supplise. this really did help! thanks!

[HedvigGrotesco]

Thank you mate!

Now I know how to so this next time if I find a bird baby in the backyard or something.

[jsfernald]

Thank you! this really helped. We found some baby sparrows that fell out of the nest and we had no clue what to feed them. Now we do, Thank you!

[nickandfallon]

Luckly, the brand of cat food i buy has the right amount of Protein in it for Sparrows, so i dont have to add the egg. I recommend also using htis brand for Sparrows, to make less steps. However, if using a different brand with less Protein, then adding an egg (hard boiiled of corse), is recommened.

[soapaddictOH]

This food should also have egg and applesauce in it. They need a lot of protein and cat food dosen't have quite enough. I got the recipe from a starling messageboard. How are your babies doing? I have 3 I am raising now.
