How and what to feed a baby bird

Exact is a great formula for baby birds. I've had over 40 birds and have hand fed quite a few in my young life time. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

what about bread mixed with water? i fed that to a baby bird i found, and it ate a lot of it, but right now, i put it in a plastic container with like paper towels and grass, i put it up in a tree, and ...yah...im not sure what to do, i dont want it to die

@gnwcbsv i've heard of the bread and water but that's not going to give birds the proper nutrients they need...so the bird formula would be a better choice ;)

how do you feed a baby bird fledgling? because he/she wont open up

ps. really small

@reproducable when i fed new borns i kinda had to open their mouth for them... some birds like doves i found it was easy to try n get the syringe in their mouth through the side of their beak... u just have to find a way to open their beak, just be gentle.

@BlackTar100 well i guess as long as they are ggettign enough protien, i would just prefer natural food

@realloyd20 What if you're not around "bugs!" I have taken cared of many birds and used a high protein recipe to feed them until they are ready for seeds and fruit.

@MyBodyIsMyTemple Good and informative vids!

@gnwcbsv Bread and water is bad for baby birds, they need protein to grow! Believe it or not, cat food soaked in water until it gets mushy is about the best thing especially if you're not around any bugs.
