Answer 2

Contact your local wildlife rescue service. There is also a website for Wild Bird Centers. They are everywhere. This is who I go through when I find a baby bird.
I'm assuming you have a wild bird because it has no mother tending it? Or perhaps injured? If so, here are some tips.
Wild birds fall at alarming rate, due to cats. When the babies have not yet learned how to fly, they are vulnerable. Best to keep them in a dark, warm environment like a box with towels. Babies loved to be held, because they are used to being warm. Since Robins are more aggressive, it's best to hold on their backs with their head between your index and middle finger. This way, you can hold and feed without risk of harming the bird.
Food: syringe feeding is the most efficient. We use mashed up dog food with water added to it. Believe it or not, this is what the wild animal rescue people told us to use.
Beyond feeding, it is time to hand the bird over to the recuers. They can provide added care that will send your little feathered friend back into the sky.
Good luck.

Answer 3

A robin is an insect and fruit eating bird in the wild, as well as some bird seed, and a few bread crumbs, and an occassional cracker or chip.

In captivity the base of the diet should be senior dog food or puppy dog food served moist, with some frozen blue berries, and raspberries, and you can give them fresh veggies, and bread and some sunflower seed, basically anything you eat except for chocolate avacado, and rice, this WILL KILL them.

I hope this helps

Answer 4

I found a tiny baby bird 8 days ago and was worried it would not survive with me, but it sure has! I have been feeding him wetted down catfood, then moved on to hard-boiled egg yolk, and now we are giving him raw lean hamburger meat and mealy-worms from the pet store. He has about quadrupled in size, and is very active and happy. He opened his eyes around day 4, and his feathers are over an inch long and starting to fill in. According to the Audobon Society, most baby birds have all their feathers by 21 days at which time they are called fledglings and are ready to start learning to fly.

Keep him warm - ours is on a heating pad set on low - and change bedding every time he poops. We have him on a bed of woodchips with toilet paper smoothed on top of it. He tends to poop right after we feed him - which is about every 45 minutes during the day. He's going to make it - but whether he will return to the wild or stay with us indefinitely, we're not sure. Good luck and don't listen to all the people who say it's impossible to raise a baby bird!

Answer 5

If the bird is not hurt, please return it to the place you found it.
If the bird is hurt, please get it to a wildlife rehabilitation center or a vet that works with wildlife.
Wild birds (especially young ones) can be extremely hard to care for. Usually birds taken from the wild were better off where they were. In cases of injury or illness, the bird needs professional help.

Answer 6

I have raised many wild birds using cat food. I would soak the dry cat food until it was just moist, not mushy, and insert small pieces down the throat with some blunt tweezers until the crop or breast looks poochy and full. Doing this about every hour or two at first.

Answer 8
