Thank you for sharing! ... These baby bird rescue videos are both interesting and educational. From watching them, I have learned that it takes a special kind of formula to keep those little ones alive. It's a pleasure to observe them grow and develop, as their features become clearer each day. 🐣🐤🐦

[@makorufus]

3 years ago... that's a whole lifetime for him. I wonder if he had a good life. I wonder if he went up to humans and blew their minds away with how docile he was... ❤

[@cassy8834]

Definitely a little house sparrow I've rescued them before and that's exactly what they look like

[@wendyk6875]

I found a lot of baby birds in the yard and my neighbors bring them to me LOL. I've lost so many but I blame myself because I didn't do enough research I did only a little and unfortunately I lost a few. This recent one I bonded with so much and named her Eleanor. Not sure if she's a girl or boy. So far she's doing is so good and her feathers have grown in and she's starting to learn to fly but only a little bit she can hop out of her box that I have her in I didn't want to put her in a cage cuz I wanted her to be able to fly around if she wants to in the house. I left and I guess that's the first time she flew and my dog was home to watch her so she stayed close LOL. We also have guinea pigs. The funniest thing is when she goes poop she died bombs into any thing she can find and puts her butt up to poop. I call her my little fountain. I'm afraid because actually gets older it's time to set her free and I know I'm going to cry like a baby but I know it's what she deserves to be able to fly free I always wonder if she's going to forget about me once she's out there. Have any of you had a bird that was set free and never look back? Never remember? I guess that's going to make me sad. But I know I did good

[@NEFishing]

You did good! That's what nature does anyway, they're born, they grow up, and leave the nest!

[@betajeyaraj2183]

If cat food is not available, cook a little rice.add yolk of a boiled egg.mash it well with a little milk and feed him.

[@katieneedy]

Egg💀

[@misterkota1252]

House sparrow. I raised 4 of those little guys last summer. What a rewarding experience that was. They need food every hour for the first few days and they need lots of insects and worms.

[@bd6721]

Hey can you help me too, we have an abandoned house sparrow, merely a day old, how do we raise her

[@bluebirdsnature5551]

Hand fed baby👍👍

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

I'm caring for an orphaned sparrow for 2 days now. He is eating oatmeal ground up and mixed with mashed up hard boiled egg and a little water. He has to be coaxed to open his mouth...was offering food yesterday every hour or 2 and he ate a lot last night at 8pm. I thought he would be very hungry this morning but he only ate a tiny bit at 6:45 am.

[@lifeforce3451]

update ?

[@anttikuusmetso]

What a beautiful job! 🙂👍🐦

[@mlgxpubgmetro9273]

Ur underrated u deserve more!

[@NEFishing]

Thank you!

[@colleenpagano8738]

He looks like a sparrow. That's the one I have I found yesterday.

[@NEFishing]

Hope you're able to raise until it's able to fly away on his own!

[@CHIBItheSPARROW]

The little fella left? That's funny, I was sure he was going to stay. Oh well, he doesn't know what he's missing :] I'm never leaving my human family, that's for sure.

[@NEFishing]

I wished it had stayed a few more days but birds gotta fly, I guess!

[@1BionicRooster1]

I have a Daena the house sparrow. She is very attached to me and will take naps on my shoulder at any opportunity. She would not fly away. Just hid in my long hair. So she is one of the family now. She steals our orange and apple pieces.

[@subratagoswami9651]

❤️ Sparrow ❤️😘

Cool man

[@LalalaDanie]

Dont just give it cat food! Next to cat food you should give it fresh mealworms, cut in pieces. I feed my baby sparrow the very big ones, called Zophobas, after I cut off their head (which is always sad). The head can be dangerous to the bird. Then cut in small pieces and fed with a pincer. Also I give it pieces of soaked raisins, dried mealworms soaked. Occasionally a fresh live insect. As stille a baby bird one should give it pro biotic babybird powder called Nutri Bird A21 mixed with water. They love that. It provides, as do the mealworms, the bird with moist as well. Places where reptiles are taken care of or fishing clubs mostly have live mealworms. Good luck! Btw do this only when the baby birds really REALLY don't have parents to feed them and there is no bird rescue center around. The feeding is the easy part, after that comes the safe letting go. Mostly they are eaten because they are still not quick enough with the flying and don't know the surroundings and the dangers really.

[@boyardstreet8357]

Flapping its wings like that is the way they ask for food to their mother.

[@user-gm5cc3rj9u]

Did he came back?

[@hirenpatel3219]

We also have one rescued but now it's flying little. But me and my family members get quite scared when it flys on us with its sharp nails. We are struggling there. I am still feeding it soaked dog food. Just let it touch us, is kind of hard for us.

[@merc9283]

Bro u did the right thing to care for it but what about hygiene? Little guy needed a bath bad! A bowl clean water so it could clean it's feathers is all it needed everyday along with warm dry bedding. Yr a great soul 👍

[@NEFishing]

Thanks for the tip. If I ever find another one I will def do that.

[@sithlordhibiscus9936]

does kitten wet food work?

[@annoorkhan4219]

How many time you feed every day?

[@caseykemp8869]

Good job guys. I wouldn’t release him now he may have issues with feeding by himself and is too accustomed to humans. He may have imprinted on you too.

[@iamimperfectionperfected4]

I am not setting my free. It has a bad wing. Big red aunts were eating it alive. It was screaming so loud I thought it was a kitten.

[@MANISHSINGH-sq8yk]

🥰

[@truenreal365]

Your lucky

[@jessylee3275]

I just rescued one today I read that I should try feeding it every 20 minutes but it's not eating much should I spread the feedings out more

[@NEFishing]

Provided it's not injured in some way it will let you know when it's hungry. I would stick more to about every 2 hours, it will let you know when it's full. Hope it makes it through!

[@1BionicRooster1]

That depends on what stage of development it is. Little and no feathers is like 15 to 20. If they have pin feathers its like 30 to 45 and then every hour when they get feathers. They will also be shy until they know where the food is coming from.

[@1BionicRooster1]

How is the little guy doing. Any luck in rehabilitation?

[@jessylee3275]

@@1BionicRooster1 He passed away😓

[@1BionicRooster1]

@@jessylee3275 saving baby birds is never 100%, and today i felt that myself with a starling, she was very sick and wouldn't eat. They are incredibly fragile and by the time we get to them nature is already taking its course. They will eject themselves from nests or get rejected for being sickly or a lame duck. Sometimes there is a lot of competition. I hate to say it but this is common.

[@lalashwante3631]

A good job👍👍

[@NEFishing]

Thank You!

[@ThePearsson]

The parents keep feeding them after they have left the nest because they can’t find food by them self yet. So i hope he did come back or he will starve 😢

[@iamimperfectionperfected4]

I found one bald but now it's this size.

[@learnmoreknowmore8668]

What you given to eat these little baby bird

[@NEFishing]

Hydrated dry cat food. Put a few dry cat food pellets in a small container and put enough water in for the pellets to soak up and get very mushy.

[@nanda4658]

The food doesn’t get stuck in it throat?

[@NEFishing]

No, I made sure the food was well hydrated without it being soupy. A little bit like oatmeal with a little more liquid in it.

[@akmkarim1]

I Think you should nursing few more days before let it go

[@NEFishing]

He took off on his own, couldn't stop him. Birds gotta fly!

[@muratnurlu8735]

Me too and house spareow

[@ipurerican]

That was a female sparrow

[@thenerdforumforever]

that most definitely was a female sparrow

[@tiffanybooker4935]

What are u feeding it

[@NEFishing]

Dry cat food hydrated with water.

[@liaqatali5387]

What are you feeling him?

[@NEFishing]

Dry cat food! It has a lot of protein that the chick needs to grow!

[@colleenpagano8738]

I found a sparrow that's a baby and he wants to eat but only by his mommy I don't know how to feed him or get him to eat food and he also has a wound. Bluejay bit his neck and severed his skin so it's open what can I do to clean that wound

[@colleenpagano8738]

Also, his mommy and daddy want him back. They were trying to get him when I had him on the ground in a basin and they were I have a lot of cats around the neighborhood and also the Blue Jays that are trying to attack him so I'm afraid to leave him there so I let them come in by me and they run away because they're afraid of people. I'm gonna try tomorrow again, but what can they do? They cannot pick him up and bring him back up in the nest that's up in the trees like 20 feet up there

[@LalalaDanie]

When its wounded you could bring it to an animal doctor. Another option and the best in other cases is to put it in a little open box and put the box up as close to the nest as possible so the parents can find it and feed it.

[@christinerizzi4952]

Maybe he’s a sparrow

[@rusty728]

House sparrow

[@ThePearsson]

Don’t hydrate it to much or it will drown

[@cassy8834]

They usually get the size of a finch or a chickadee as opposed to size they get not very big

[@betajeyaraj2183]

Every 2 hrs. FEEDING is imp.

[@merc9283]

Gato probably got him tho. . No protection for the little guy means certain death. They have 80% mortality rate unfortunately.

[@NEFishing]

Hopefully he was in the 20% that makes it!

[@RachelGreen-td3ij]

It died

[@cjflyfishing4403]

Give me a shoutout please

[@melodyhunter9724]

Your not supposed to give it water... You could give it phenomena did you know that....If you want to go to google and ask google why its dangerous to give water to a baby bird

[@jimmyroman4127]

Phenomena lmao

[@wow-thanks]

Just an FYI for anyone who might be raising a baby house sparrow - *please do not release them!* House sparrows are an invasive species in the United States. They are known to outcompete many native species for nesting locations and food, which can damage the populations of local birds. As an invasive species, they are not protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and it is legal to keep one as a pet without a special license. Your little sparrow friend would lead a more fulfilling and much less harmful life as a pet! Just make sure that it's a house sparrow and not a native sparrow. It is illegal to keep a native species for an extended period of time. Please take native babies to a trusted wildlife rehabber, so they can be raised properly and released back into their natural habitat :)
