“The constant fear of not doing something right” That is 100% exactly what I felt when I was raising my sparrow. I was unable to go out with my friends for almost a year becaus I was afraid that my bird would starve to death. Thank god I had my roommate that would feed it when I was working. It’s not an easy task to raise a baby bird you guys.

@@marsk7555 what D. Said. Feed it watered down cat food. And keep it warm. Put it on a shoe box with some paper towels. Do not use clothed towels or hand towels because the bird can get caught on the threads. Also, the bird will naturally get to the highest point of wherever nest it lays on to poop out, so put something underneath his nest to catch the poop. I put mine on a big coffe bowl, and I placed paper towels below the bowl to make it easy to clean afterwards.

I saved and cared for two baby sparrows. It was one of the most demanding but rewarding undertakings I have ever experienced. The day one of them opened her eyes and looked at me for the very first time, was one of the most moving experiences of my life.We formed a special bond, and when I released them, they continued to return to me several times a day. They would wait for me to come out of the house every morning, and they said goodnight to me every night before flying off to join the flock of sparrows that lived in the giant hedge nearby. Who knows how long my paradise would have lasted if not cut short by a relentless hungry hawk and a heartless and sadistic neighbor who despised sparrows. I will never forget those beautiful little souls who left an indelible mark on my heart. I have often wanted to make a video about them, but I haven't been able to get past the pain of having them ripped from my life.

[@anascrafts5711]

Nice job. One day, at the age of 12, I was walking on a city street and passed by a store owner opening the awning on the store front. At that moment three tiny nude sparrow babies fell onto the sidewalk. Somehow the nest maintained its' shape and protected them. I scooped up the nest and ran home. House rules made me keep them in the garage. Everyday before school I fed them worms. After school they got another round. I was amazed at how fast the little buggers developed feathers. I remember the first day I took them outside after a couple of days practicing flight in the garage. Testing their wings. The three of them suddenly took flight and were gone. Never a thanks. Not even a wave goodbye. Not a peep of thanks!

Indeed I have noticed they stay in the nest until they're fully formed & ready. Then, if I accidentally disturbed them by walking too close, they all just took off & never saw them again. This happened several times on my property, one was in my under-the railroad track tunnel, where there's a nest every year. Another nest is under the awning of my French doors by my kitchen.

I was stood outside my house and a baby bird fell off the roof and landed at my feet, I thought it was dead but picked up and cupped it my hands where it would be warm and dark.

I raised a baby black bird and slowly released it back into the yard. I learned a lot about birds then. They’re very smart. They have big personalities. They can tell the difference between individual people. He or she would fly down from the trees and land on mine and my dads shoulders. We were the ones that fed him. The little bird didn’t go near any other human at all. But he or she knew the two of us were safe people. Birds are amazing. Eventually linked up with the other birds and lived its life.

So cute. I’ve rescued and raised many sparrows and they are just a joy to take care of. And fairly easy to raise as far as birds go. If you find one, you can get “chick starter” feed from a hardware or coop store. Take that and mix it with warm water, and grind it into a very easy to swallow paste. I’ve always had success with that until they get older enough to eat seeds and insects, etc. But I still always offered that chick starter mash in their enclosure so they could eat that too. It’s only good for a short time, so don’t use it after about a half hour bc it will sour.

xinyuActor Agreed. I have rescued birds too, but not wild ones. Exotic and specialist birds. No bird should ever eat bread because they cannot digest processed food like bread very well.

@@jaydeleon8094 I never heard of that either, and I couldn't really find much online in regards to this. There seems to be a lack of research on the effects of feeding birds bread. However, I did find one PhD Doctorate Thesis that cited a source I could not find, but this is what the thesis says: "The study showed that many birds are fed inappropriate foods. Alarmingly, bread was by far the most commonly provided food for wildlife (58% of respondents). Bread has been associated with digestive and gut problems in birds. Carbohydrates are relatively scarce in carnivorous and insectivorous birds’ natural diets and the consumption of high carbohydrate foods such as bread can lead to lactic acidosis, which is the build up of acid derived from fermenting food that has built up in the animal’s gut (Kraschnefski, 1999)." So I guess there's some potential merit to Scottster's reply.

Momma birds generally can't find their young again, when they do, they can't really bring them back to the nest.. As long as you can find the nest, and not get human scent on them, it's possible to return them..And hope momma bird continues treating them as their baby. Papa bird too.

[@jaydeleon8094]

@@ghoulishartist that human scent thing I learned was a lie, at least for birds that live close to human heavy areas.

😢 I am a 58 year old guy who has 18 parrots of various sizes and I fell in love with each and every one of them. They all have their own distinctive personalities. When I hear of a story of a person going well beyond their responsibilities to nurture a wild animal it brings tears to my eyes. I have a big window in my kitchen that looks upon a area that I made for wild birds. Me and my Cockatoo, and Conures love to watch as these starlings, black birds, and other birds come to gather. BUT......thee sparrow is a treat to watch. They are sweet, happy go lucky,extremely peaceful birds. I also have a pair of Carolina Wrens who have been nesting and living in my open garage for years. Taking on a baby bird is NOT a easy task. It means commitment to saving a living being even if we won't get a thank-you. I have a mouse problem in my home. At times a fured pinky will show out of nowhere. Some people have NO problem arbitrary exterminating a little being. I CANNOT ! I love them all. They live with me. Parrots and Meece ! Lol
