Suggest that you find out the natural temp of the European Sparrow. Perhaps a canary would suffise. Maybe you could attach a thermometer to it's underside and pad it for insulation to get the temp.

Take it to the nearest chicken farm and ask them kindly to put it under one of their chickens and or in their large incubators. I tried the lamp thing once and I am not happy with the result out of 15 chicken eggs only one hatched and it was a handicapped chick so it only lived for 2 days. Good luck :o)

I don't know but be careful handling the baby sparrows because we tried to preserve some bird eggs and the mother bird ended up rejecting them because we had touched them!

I don't think you can keep the bird alive after it's hatched, if it hatches. I tried that with an egg I found. The baby bird would need to be in a nest and be fed immediately by its mom immediately after hatching anyway.:( Sorry

heating pad is probably too hot. put a lightbulb in a box and put the aggs farthest away from the light. turn them a couple of times a day to heat them evenly.

I settle for as real with Dixie... bump into an animal rescue position or maybe bypass to a domestic dog save. i tried an same component as a touch one or maybe besides the very undeniable actuality that i replaced into doing what replaced into reported, the poultry died. It easily takes plenty to save them alive and precise, the temperature, adjusting their nutrients, etc. attempt to discover someplace that would want to take the poultry for you or can enable you to understand the precise stuff to favor to strengthen a infant poultry.
