Just rescued a fledgling Blue Jay from the local crows. Prayers I can keep him alive... he is so close to being able to actually fly. Prayers appreciated... ❤️❤️❤️

Our best is all we can do. Thank you for taking care of wildlife!

Taking care of two right now. Courtesy of a mean hawk. They are precious! I feed them mostly water soaked high quality dry dog food and blueberries. Praying in Jesus’s name for your babies survival!

[@cheriser9181]

I just found one tonight wondering around the yard. A dead one the same size near by. I brought him in. I’ll be feeding him. I have cats though so I’m nervous about it. I have a lot of blue jays around that I feed so I’m hoping I can get this little guy safely to adulthood somehow

My cat brought me a baby blue jay in the middle of the night last night! Not exactly what I wanted to see at 6am, but we've had a fairly successful day of it. Feeding every 30 minutes or so. Glad to see your video, there may be hope of avoiding the long trip to the bird rehab center. (This is the second live, unharmed bird my cat has brought into the house. I guess he's more of a collector than a killer, I hope.)

i came across this and it depressed me. We had a big storm one day and I accidentally stepped on a baby while its siblings screamed. I was so upset and I'll never forget every detail. I took rest of the babies back to my apartment in box and fed them while I prepared to build them a new nest. I got them back into a tree and mama came back to it after about a day. I kept an eye on them until they left the nest. I actually got to see both of them leave the nest and I was so proud.

I found one a week ago, with one broken leg and just one eye. I'm feeding him with a puree of beans, eggs, potato, corn meal, chiken meat or ham, carrots, toasted peanuts and wathever I had at home and see that he liked. Also some fruits pieces and water. I'm washing his butt, beak, face and dirty body parts, taking him outside to get some sun light and exercises his wings. He looks nice and healty. Guessing that I can't release him into the wild due the lack of one eye.

Years ago I tried to save a baby blue Jay (we named him Blue Jay Leno) and a dove (Dove Letterman) but was unsuccessful. A few years ago I found a VERY YOUNG male Cardinal I named Roscoe. This brought back all the memories of struggling to feed him. Happily I was able to save him and he grew into the most amazing bird. I released him many times but he always returned and wanted to come back to his home in our sunroom where he had a huge cage that was always open so he had complete run of the room. He actually housebroke himself and would fly into the cage to relieve himself. But somebody reported me and he was confiscated by the Florida Wildlife Commission. I am about to publish a book titled ROSCOE: My CARDINAL Sin

[@Republican_Extremest]

You did a good job at narrating the progress. The feeding in the beginning was a tad hard to watch but it was a baby and all babies have the tendency to be complicated at times. The transition from natural feeding to human feeding a wild animal is different I'm sure. I give ya a 9.5 out of 10 for effort. You did your due diligence on keeping him fed safe and gave him a chance to grow. Is there any updates on Billy or was this it for your story.

Yes, most animals when you get them very young will bond with you and “imprint“. The imprint portion of that is dangerous if you plan to release them to the wild and want to keep them wild.

Rescued a fledgling from 3 cats; 1 dropped it out its mouth while, 2 bystanders watched. Unfortunately, the day before, I found dead what I think was mom or dad and 2 days after finding this one, found dead, what looked like its sibling. Think they both tried leaving the nest, going after food when mom didn’t not return. I looked for a nest when I first found him, to no avail. No rescue rehabs in the area or any licensed place would help, so I have been caring for this sweet thing for 8 days now. Trying to take it outside a lot and research how and when to release it back outside. Thanks for sharing.

Hi we found a nest after the landscaper cut stuff down. The tree was way to open. I realized it once one of the small eggs hatched. So pretty the bird. I covered the tree with something so the baby had shade( its been so hot in fl the baby bird want moving much) then the mama bird i think came bc it went and checked on the baby bird after i did that. Is it true they will move the baby bird to another nest. I ask bc all of them disappeared after they hatched. I got lucky to see the first baby bird. Idk if its a dove or bluejay bc the bluejays always flying and checking on the nest bwfore they were harched. Then another kind of bird i think is a dove came to it. Ty for showing about the heat. Idk that just felt like the baby bird needed some shade sense the tree was now open where its not well protected. Do u see the bluejays still? Does he visit u. I know that mught seem silly but we have so many beautiful birds here after they hatch we see them a year or more later to hatch another set of birds 😆 didnt mean to make this long.

Dunno if you'll see this. Sadly, we lost a baby scrub jay this AM. We'd had her for 8 days. She'd fallen out of her nest, was younger than Billy Boy. My son found the general area where the nest was, but we couldn't get to it. We could hear 2 babies in it. So sad. My parent's dog had found her. We finally gave up at dusk and brought her home, as she wouldn't have survived. Plus, their dog... We fed her grub worms. We fed her food for Scrub Jay's (by grinding it up and adding water). I later realized that the shell of the seeds had been ground up too, so I tried picking them out. I noticed that you fed your baby significantly less. SIGNIFICANTLY. I also gave her wet cat food. For the last few days I was ONLY feeding her this. I had read that everytime they open their mouth you feed them. I was also giving her water in syringes. I gave her alot, thinking she HAD to drink. She had diarrhea all last night. I gave her a warm bath with my shampoo, because poop had gotten stuck on her. I kept her warm afterward. We've been using a heat lamp at night. She was starting to hop, so last night I kept her in bed with me, then put her back by the hotlamp.. Normally we kept her in a container that she could not get out of. This time I purposely put her in a short wide basket. I wanted to give her the freedom to get to hop around. Looked for her this AM. Finally found her under a side table, deceased. Am devastated. I really want to know what things we messed up on. If you see this, would you mind giving me your thoughts? I'd be very grateful. Her name waa Blueberry.

[@zombieepx1933]

You don’t give them water. They get all the water they need from blueberry’s, crickets, worms, and various other insects. If you do give them water it’s only a drop or two max. They can drown if given too much water sadly which is a common cause of death for first time rescues. It’s our first instinct as humans to give things food and water, but fledglings do not need it because of their diet. You also have to be careful giving them moist cat food thats soaked in water because if it’s too damp that can also drown them as well.

Just found a baby in my yard. I found scratching the ground or box in front of them gets them to open there mouth. I've been grinding up mealworms in water and feed it through an eye dropper. I also give it hard mealworm bits. It likes. Any suggestions?

[@floydwebtube]

The Other World only what I could offer you in this video are my suggestions. See if you can reunite it with adult Blue Jays. Good luck.

I found a baby bluejay yesterday and we tried to find his parents all day with no luck. I'm feeding him with the handle of a plastic spoon. I have cans of wet cat food and I will be boiling eggs for more protein. He's so good at opening his mouth but I'm not sure where to put the food? Top of his mouth or bottom? He has a protuding flap in the middle and I sure hope he's not going to choke if food gets on the wrong side of it. I did realize that I was giving too much at first. He just loves being held too.

[@unseenabyss2824]

my baby blue jays feather are getting croocked an looks like they in pain like they are standing up on its wings any advise

Look for a professional Wildlife Rehabilitator/or a bird sanctuary in your area and take the bird there.

Hey um I know it's been along time but I found a blue jay and it seemed like the older birds left him and we got him and we put a little container of water like very little but we can't do that syrenge thing cause he flies around alot do you have any advice he seams kinda old he can flap his wings but can't fly he can kinda fly but not really

[@floydwebtube]

imarandomperson It’s probably just a fledgling. It should be left where you found it. Fledglings will often live on the ground for a week or more while adults feed it, until it can fly itself.

[@getagrip7474]

Mother and sister took a baby jay from the ground and want to keep it in a cage until it grows up, because of the threat of cats who sometimes visit the area where we found it. I tell them to leave it back there, they say it's too dangerous. What is better to do?

[@floydwebtube]

geta grip A Bluejay won’t be able to survive in a cage. It needs to learn to forage and eventually to fly. Just as in my video, see if you can get other adult Blue Jays interested in it. Take it outside where are other Blue Jays are, and supervise the baby so the cats can’t get it. Probably where you found it would be best. Good luck.

[@adrianaluna2171]

hi! I could really use some advice, yesterday afternoon I found a baby blue jay that had fallen from his nest which was way beyond reach and very high up in a tree. There didn’t seem to be any other blue jays around and I wanted to make sure he wasn’t injured from the fall impact and that he’d get fed. So I took him in, fed him some cat food, went back outside and still no other blue jays that would come to him :( I kept him in over night just to make sure he’d be safe from any neighborhood stray cats. What should I do if no other blue jays are coming to this baby? Just leave him outside? I’m scared he’ll grow hungry or other animals will get to him first. Please let me know! Thank you

[@markhanna1196]

I'm going through the same thing. Cats where surrounding this baby blue. I couldn't let it happen. Do what your heart tells you to do.

The Leon is it too late? You can feed him mealworms, peanuts, crickets, flies, and bird food (for actual pet birds) and crush it into tiny pieces.

If the bird is eating, just keep feeding it until it grows up and it will fly away when it can.

i just found a baby blue jay on the ground, what do you feed it, i've been able to get it to eat blueberries, about 4 so far. and some wet cat food (fancy feast chicken with gravy) what else do i need to do? its favoring one of its legs, it might have gotten hurt when it fell from the tree, the parents were hanging around and flipped out when my cat was around (i think he got one of its siblings), i have him in a plastic container with a face cloth in it and its sleeping , any advice would be helpful

[@floydwebtube]

dank donkerson Try to re-release it if there are adults in the area. It may be just a fledgling. Otherwise, try to find a local rehab or in your area. If you can’t do that, pay attention to the video you just commented on. There’s a lot of good information in there. Good luck.

[@insonh21]

@@floydwebtube looking for a rehab now, i live in the city and it wouldn't survive the day.lots or cats and one got it's sibling, one of its legs is sprained i think from the fall, its asleep in my hand right now after feeding, and seems pretty content, ill keep you posted, thanks for the video when you sprayed it with water was that to clean or hydrate it? i'll have to watch the video again but right now i need to run out and pay bills thanks again for the video

[@floydwebtube]

dank donkerson Thanks for taking care of the little bird, and good luck with it. I sprayed the baby Bluejay basically because it was so hot out , and it also helps break up some of the wax coverings on the pinfeathers as he’s grooming himself. You may put a drop or two of water into its open mouth, but make sure the water is clean and chemical free. Cheers!

@@floydwebtube hey i just discovered something on the little guy, on his left foot the toe to grab from the back is broken and facing backward, i think i'm going to have to find a shelter for him because this is a little out of my league, he's eating a lot but he uses his left wing as a crutch.....this sucks

[@insonh21]

​ floydwebtube update, called Tufts Wildlife Clinic and left a message explaining the baby blue jay and how its griping thumb on it left leg was broken , got a call less than 5 min later saying they absolutely wanted to see the bird and gave me their address, took me about a hour to get there and i left him with the nurse who said he'd be well taken care of and eventually released back into the wild. such great 4th of July

After baby billy grew up did/does he recognize you ? It would be difficult to know but do you notice that any blue birds are more friendly with you or anything? Perhaps respond to your voice or sing to that song you played ????

No, he just blended in to the wilderness and became a wild bird. Right where he belongs. Cheers!

[@floydwebtube]

Lola Bunny It is very difficult to train a wild bird to hand feed from you. If they have other options for food, they are not going to use you or need to trust you for food.

[@floydwebtube]

Lola Bunny they’re wild birds. They basically cannot be trained.
