Take some wild bird seed and mix it with a lil bit of water...mix it up in a food processor put it in to a medicine dropper or one of those lil medicine syringes and the baby bird with naturally open its mouth for it...Squeeze slowly so not to choke the bird.

Well first off, I wouldn't give her bloodworms and second if she's old enough to eat on her own try giving her a small amount of birdseed in water, blend it up first though. Although if she's not old enough to eat on her own try giving her kaytee exact, you can find it at Petsmart.
But if you want the best advice one what to do with her then ask a vet or wild life rescue on how to care for a young bird. Chances are if you get the right information and advice then you can probably raise her until she's old enough to be on her own.
Don't be surprised if after you release her she'll remeber you and may stop by for a visit!

in the initiating keep the chook in an empty shoe field lined with towels, for a warmth source use a table lamp with a 40 or 60 watt blub. do not placed the mild immediately OVER THE chook!!! sligtly off to the area will do only superb. Secondly, bypass on your close by petstore and bypass the reptile section and purchase some crickets(do not use those outdoors your position, they could have some thing on them that ought to kill your chook). once you get abode placed the crickets in a blender with a small volume of water(warmth water will artwork yet do not use tap water). mix up the crickets and delivers the mxture to the chook making use of a sparkling eyedropper or syrange with no needle. Take it trouble-free once you feed the chook so she or he would not choke. she or he will have the capacity to favor to be fed each 2 to three hours(along with in the course of the nighttime). that is very few things you may do for the first 24 to 40 8 hours. After that you do have some concepts. a million. Calling a flora and fauna preserve to take the chook or 2. Getting suggestion from a vet on a thanks to guard the chook. in case you get suggestion from a vet or someone who rehabs wild existence probability is you could develop the chook till its the right age to be by using itself.

Hello, I am a veterinary assistant to an avian vet. Please see my website Starling and sparrow rescue and care ( http://www.starlingrescueandcare.bravehost.com ). You will find precise instructions for caring for the baby as well as emergency instructions. There is also a forum you can post to for further instruction. Please do not give the baby water directly into his mouth, you may cause him to aspirate (inhale the liquid and possible drown). Sparrows feed their babies mainly an insectivorous diet, he will not be able to digest seeds as easily as his parents would. You will find the recommended diet for a baby sparrow on the site as well as feeding, bedding, warmth, and care. Hope this helps!
Sincerely, Audra

It is pretty demanding to do a good job taking care of a wild bird. If you are not able to devote the time and energy, try to contact a wild animal rehabilitator. Often, you can find this information in the yellow pages.
