Maiosameru Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 My husband found a little bird that had fallen out of its nest this morning..unfortunately mom didn't come back for this little one..we waited as long as we felt was safe for the little guy..ants had already started to climb on him and he was pretty lethargic when I picked him up. So..teeny tiny bits of sugar water till he perked up and went off in search of birdie formula. Turns out we don't have any wildlife rescue centers that would take him, so I decided to hand raise him myself. Right now he seems to be doing great..really active and vocal, eating like a champ and best yet..pooping like a champ. So, here's my question. I've handfed other birds before when I was a teenager..other than a heating pad on low with a nest-like towel over it, and feedings every half hour..is there anything more I need to do for this little guy?

Shelly Yokum Posted May 3, 2011 Share Posted May 3, 2011 I would take it to a vet to see if its ok, and nothing broken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malikah Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Pictures please, and make sure the heating pad is not under all of the "nest" so that if baby gets too warm it can move to a cooler spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
