what should i feed a baby bird?

Question

I think its a sparrow.

Answer 1

First what type of bird will determine what to feed.
Parrakeets are fed by the parents reguritated food.
Sparrows are fed live insects by thier parents, Seagulls regurgitate fish for their chicks and hawks feed thier babies meat. Poultry are self sufficient from birth as are ducklings. So it all depoends what baby bird you mean.,

Answer 2

I believe sparrows need to be fed a mixture of insects and fruit every 30 to 40 minutes. They eat mainly insects as babies and you can get most of their food from a pet store in the form of baby crickets and boxed insectivore food. Crickets are important in that they will teach the young chick to hunt for their own food :-) . You could probably feed earthworms and chopped up meal worms. I find meal worms disgusting but they're incredibly high in protein.

Good luck!

Answer 3

DON'T FEED IT MILK !!! milk is an unnatural thing for birds to eat and could give it constipation. look in a Field guide and see what these birds eat in the wild, get some meal worms from your pet shop or maggots from a fishing shop, cut up small pieces of soft fruit such as berries (be very care full which, remember some are as poisonous to them as they are to us, and no citrus) and small pieces of bread dipped in water, this will also help get some fluid into it. baby birds need feeding little and often.

Answer 4

You can get baby bird formula from the pet store. But, if you are inexperienced with feeding a baby bird, you should take it to the vet. You can accidentally make the bird aspirate food or burn the crop if done incorrectly.

Answer 5

I would reccomend that you get a baby bird formula from a pet store that sells birds. You would mix it with tepid water and feed with an eye dropper or small plastic syringe, in a pinch until you get that, you could try some honey water...make sure that it is hydrated. Terry

Answer 6

I think you're supposed to feed them some kind of baby food mixture. You need to use a syringe, which can be tricky. Call a local pet store, preferably one specializing in birds. They can probably help you. Or you can do a search on Google or Yahoo Search.

Answer 7

Call your local St. Francis society. They can help you out.
