I found a newborn bird on m pourch. what do i do?

Question

It fell abot 10 feet the mom or dad wont get it

Answer 1

First off if the bird's neck is broken then there's probably a chance it won't live. Second, try calling a wild life shelter to see if they can take the bird. Also if you want better advice on caring for the bird ask a vet, but don't leave it outside. A cat or something else may attack it and another thing, go to a petstore like Petco for exmaple and get crickets. put them in a blender and add a small amount of water and blend it up.

After that try giving it to the bird with an eyedropper or syrange without a needle. He or she will need to be fed every 2-3 hours(including at night). As far as housing goes keep it bird in a empty shoebox lined with towels. Try to find a heatsource to keep the box under, like a desk lamp with a 40 or 60 watt light bulb.

This is just some things you can do to help the bird for the first 24 or 48 hours. But if you want the best advice ask a vet on what to do with the bird, chances are you can care for it yourself until its old enough to be on its own.

I hope this was of some help.

Answer 2

if you can see the nest and REACH it ...put the baby back in the nest. Is the bird feathered? If yes, it may have left the nest on it's own. They fledge the nest before they can fly and the parents will feed them until they learn and can forage on their own. If this is the case try to leave the bird in the area you found it, maybe stick it in a bush for some protection. The adults will find it by it's calls. If it is NOT feathered...like I said try and replace it into the nest. If you cannot reach it you will have to call a rehab in your area that could raise it. Vets and humane societies usually keep a list of local places. (don't worry about handling the bird to put it back in the nest-birds cannot smell so NO chance they will reject it)

Answer 3

If you can't put it back in the nest, you CAN raise it yourself. Don't listen to people who say you cant - I've got a sparrow on my shoulder that we picked up about two weeks ago, when he was naked and tiny and helpless and he is doing great!

First: He needs a warm "nest." Put a heating pad on its lowest setting and place a box on the pad. Fill the box with paper towels or toilet paper and lay the bird in. Cover the box loosely to keep the heat in.

An eyedropper will come in handy here - you need to feed the little guy EVERY HOUR during the day, although he can sleep for about nine hours at night. Use dry cat or dog food mixed up with water to a pulp, and feed it to him out of the eyedropper. As he gets stronger you can feed him from your finger, a straw, a nailfile or anything that seems to work. It is important that he get enough fluid, but don't drown him! Put tiny drops of water on TOP of his beak and he will suck them in.

After a few days his eyes will open and he will start to grow feathers - it's amazing! He will get to know you as his mom and you will have to keep him - he cannot be turned back out into the wild. So this is a big responsibility. But we love our little guy - we named him Peep - he flies right over to me as soon as I walk into the room and sings in my ear. We bought a cage and he is now eating some seeds, but still likes to eat the catfood off my finger. If you can keep him for his whole life, go ahead but if not, it is kinder to let him die outside as you will have a hard time finding anyone to take him as a pet.

If you have any more questions, please email me at [e-mail]. Good luck!

Answer 4

the terrific guess to maintain this little guy alive could be to take him to a wild life carer or a vet. he's so tiny and fragile that given the ask your self he has been via, it is uncertain he will stay to tell the story. He needs fairly expert nutrients and a heat, fairly humid atmosphere to stay to tell the story. whether this is in any respect obtainable, take him to a vet or carer. If that may not obtainable, there are issues you're able to do to look after him, yet don't get your hopes up. Get a field and line it with thick, gentle fabric. yet make optimistic it is not have been given a good style of lint on it. placed a warm water bottle or plastic bottle of water under the textile. make optimistic it is not too warm...touch it to the interior of your wrist to make optimistic. Wrap a moist fabric around it before you put in under the textile lining...this might advance the humidity somewhat. it is significant to easily be optimistic you do no longer enable the water bottle get chilly. As for feeding, the terrific situation to do could be to pass to a puppy save and ask them what they have obtainable for infant birds. in case you could no longer try this, get some undeniable cereal and soak it in water water and mash it up until this is thoroughly gentle. you could feed this to him in very small quantities with a syringe or an eyd dropper. whilst coping with him, in any respect cases use gloves or previous socks on your arms. this might help avert him from imprinting on you or thinking you're his confirm and will advance his possibilities of being rehabilitated and released whilst grown.

Answer 5

You can't keep the birrd. You might want to contact a humane society. My friends mom works at a nature park and when my neighbor found a finch and wanted to keep it she said it was illegal in the state of wisconsin. I am not sure if that is the same where you live but, Contact someone who knows.


I hope it helps!!!

get an eyedropper and get some nightcrawlers. grind the bait and put it in the eyedropper. then put the eyedropper into the but the food in its mouth. Do this about every time its mouth opens. They need to be fed constantly

Answer 8

chances are that the birdie is badly injured and the wings are broken. you should look up a bird speciaist near you to determine if it should be put to sleep or not. If the wings are broken, they have to put it to sleep. if you would like to know more about this, you can e-mail me at [e-mail].
