Baby Sparrows

The baby bird is going to die. It is only a matter of time. Usually they will eat wet bread crumbs before they die. Think of it this way, if a human parent dropped their baby and a bunch of sparrows came across it, could they save the baby? No. It's very difficult to do this. Actually impossible. So when the bird dies you can have a nice funeral and bury it in the backyard. It might live a few days or even a week.

It is not necessary that it will die. Find a wildlife shelter or hospital in your area. I know one in Greece, but it probably is not where you are. In the meantime, put the baby in a box with some newspaper - make sure there are openings where it can breath from - and feed it with a small syringe without a needle with human baby food. Good luck.
PS. To feed water all you need is to drop some on the nostrils, on top of the beak. This communicates with the mouth. But don't block them with any solid food!

i have also raised baby sparrows as well as starlings. there is a multitude of webpages about how to care for these baby birds, especially because no rescue agencies will provide care for them (this is because they are considered "foreign species" and overpopulating natural habitats). anyways, there is a website that was incredibly helpful to me. (all my hatchlings survived and thrived/were sucessfully released into the wild again). (see link below) You can register (for free) to talk/ask questions, or you can simply browse the site.
Good luck!! You'll need it!!

take care of the baby sparrow until its an adult. give it a good home, like a shoe box with tissue in the bottom. also give it water and food. its best to put the shoe box in a warm room, like your bedroom or kitchen. if u have any pets, like cats or dogs, keep the baby sparrow away from them.

Leave the baby where you found it preferably under a bush. The mom will still feed it if you touched it, it is better off with its parents. Take it back to where you found it and make sure there are no cats around before you place it back.

WAIT AN HOUR TO SEE IF
THE MOTHER COMES BACK ,IF NOT THEN PROBALY BEEN ABANDONED GET A PAIR OF GLOVES AND CAREFULLY PICK IT UP And set it in a small basket lined with with paper towels i would suggest you put a heating pad in the basket and set it on low .you can call your locol wild life rehabilitator but that wouldn't help much.you can feed it it a smashed insect[worms]with milk.feed it every 30 minutes from 7 am to 7 pm.never feed a bird bread it will expand in there stomachs and kill them.when it gets a little older introduce it little by little to solid foods.once it starts to fly really good leet it free!

first look around and see if you see a frantic mother bird.....then get a milk jug and cut the top of and fill it with grass and put the bird in it....show the mother where you are putting the baby in a bush, hopefully high enough so Cats can't get it.....bird's cannot smell so don't worry about her not coming back because she can "smell" you....an old wrong myth.....blessings to the baby!!!! some cities have people who raise baby birds and other "orphans" call your local animal shelter.
