baby bird feeding video

This bird was rescued from our cats. It is doing just fine, and now we keep it as a pet.

We wanted to keep it warm, but it rejected the nests we made it from cotton, grass, and twigs. It seemed to enjoy my hand. It couldn't stay there forever though, so it settled for a cotton shirt on a heating pad.

Next, we tried to feed it. It didn't like worms, seed, or flies. When we fed it honey mixed with water, it loved it.

It doesn't get more awesome than this.

Be sure to pick up some baby bird feeding formula, because you can't feed the little guy only water. =\

the vet gave me wildlife #,s to call.I called a lady.But where do you get baby bird food?

[TenshiB]

Mine's fading fast... ]'= I've been feeding it gamefowl starter/grower soaked in vitamin/electrolytic water... Not sure what else to do.. He'll take the food and water but now he's all wobbly and considerably slower..

i rescued a bird just like that but it grew more :) and it's doing well, unlike you i dont feed it honey with water. i feed it wet dog food or cat.

Is it still alive? I'd be surprised if it was Anyway, most of our native wild birds require foods rich in protein, thus SHOULD NOT be fed "Exact" formula (the formula found in pet stores) since it does not fit the dietary needs of these birds. They may appear to be doing well, but feather quality (among other things) suffers greatly and the bird would be lucky if it made it to its first molt. Soaked cat food will suffice until you get the bird to a rehabber.
