  • even tho its illegal you should keep it through its adulthood just because it will be used to you =)

  • I have a permit as well

  • I need help... I found a baby road runner and its mom was hit by a care, it was circling the body peeping idk how to feed it it cries and wont let me feed it!

  • I would call your local wildlife authorities for a baby Road Runner. In certain areas, these birds can be protected.

  • It's not illegal to keep a house sparrow,as they are an introduced species and are considered a nuisance. I had one for 9 years.

  • I had one that fell out of it's nest at a factory-it was a couple days older than this one- I fed it for eleven days- swatted houseflies, wet catfood(canned), slices of grapes, bananas, mealworms(drown them first and they hold still so the bird can swallow them), etcetera. The baby sparrow wanted to eat every twenty minutes for the entire daylight day, and then he would shut up and sleep during the hours of nightime. I brought him to a bird rehab center, and hopefully, he is live & well today.

  • Thanks for the tips!! In the area that I work, The company who does the tree trimming sometimes knock the babies onto the ground and leave them to die.

    It kills me to not be able to help them.

  • I found a baby sparrow that fell out of its nest a couple of days ago, but its mom was in the tree so I didn't touch it cos my mom said she'll take care of it. Do you think she will? I feel guilty for leaving it :(
