Rescuing and Raising a Baby Sparrow!! The Story of Pichio!

[@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... ❤

[@w.MichiganLassie72]

That must feel so rewarding to rescue a newborn creature of Gods and be it's parent giving it nourishment to live and grow. It would be sad when they leave. I'd miss em. Hopefully I will get this opportunity someday and God sends me one to rescue. And WHAT A GREAT experience to give your son and show him that even the tiniest sparrow is important and worthy of being cared for. You could really have great material there for a Bible lesson for your son about God having his eye on the sparrow and loving and caring for even the smallest of his creations.

Thank you so much for sharing and helping this little previous baby 😍 💞🕊️🙏

[@sandrakimball518]

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. 🐣🐤🐦

I found nestling Robin. He’s/eating hard boiled egg yolk mixed with water so it’s like a soup, Gerbers infant chicken baby food diluted with water purified water in a 1 mL syringe and all of this is for every 45 minutes also mealworms live ones as many as you can get down the little baby, they open their mouth gaping. It’s called and you take the tweezers and the mealworm and put it inside his throat so he can easily swallow it as many as possible, they are pure protein and imperative for the survival

[@tonyasimon1172]

Actually you should NOT add water, they can get pneumonia and die. Baby Birds do not drink or need any water or milk till later on. Good luck on your journey❤

[@cassy8834]

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

[@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.

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

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 ?

[@lynxarsYt]

dont feed him until he is full, he will get too full regurgitate his food and possibly choke on it. Just feed him until he is no longer chirping

[@shelleycharlesworth5177]

@@lynxarsYt oh he will not open his mouth if he wants to stop eating...he's 48 days old today and mostly eating on his own...he turned out to be a house finch..not a sparrow..

I seen kind of bird in my backyard. So cute 😊 What kind of food you've feeding sir? Thanks for sharing this video sir God bless you always 😊

[@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.

[@TUNDR4-N1GH5]

Egg💀

[@patience2465]

You can't give birds milk???

[@gailrussell9104]

No milk. They are not mammals and cannot digest it.

[@noor-ulhawa]

Yes no milk

[@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!

[@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.

[@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.

[@boyardstreet8357]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 😢

[@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.

[@annoorkhan4219]

How many time you feed every day?

[@iamimperfectionperfected4]

[@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.

[@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.

[@liaqatali5387]

What are you feeling him?

[@NEFishing]

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

[@tiffanybooker4935]

That baby is still way to small to be on its own it most likely died after you let it go. It takes a few weeks before they can start to fend for themselves

That was a female sparrow

[@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!

[@RabbitAndTheLabBestFriends]

@@NEFishingthat is not what happens it stays close and you basically just sent it with food all over it to be be attacked by predators you didn’t care for it probably. That bird is too young to fly on its own it’s a fledgling if it didn’t get eaten it died horrifically within 24 or less hours of dehydration and starvation. If you don’t know what your doing don’t try to save a baby for views atleast educate yourself before you make a video because you should have kept him inside for awhile until it was bigger and did it correctly. I know you meant well but if you can’t look it up fast and educate leave it be you just caused that poor thing a horrible death . This is what makes me mad humans who ruin everything for animals

[@audreygullas8728]

Are you gonna say WHAT you are feeding ?

[@ianalen1687]

boiled eggs yolk 10-12min, cut the boiled egg in half and drop on one halve 4-5 drops of one-day old tap water, mix the drops with cca 1/3 of that yolk, next time use the lower 1/3 of it. Alternate it with smashed mealwarms, smashed crickets. A nestling should not eat more than 10% of its weight in one meal so weigh iboth the nestling and food on a digital scale. You can add a tiny bit of grinded oatmeals or carrot, and eg in russia they add a tiny amount of low fat yogurt. Mealworms always lightly powder with calcium carbonate. And always feed crickets with fruits, vegetables, oatmeals, peanuts before serving them to the nestling.

[@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.

[@RabbitAndTheLabBestFriends]

What? It’s nails they are not going to kill you I mean it’s baby bird they are not going to give you a diesease and so many try to help but do it wrong like this guy who released a baby that is still way to young and probably died that afternoon of dehydration or starvation or worse a predator if people don’t know then bring to a rehabber

[@RabbitAndTheLabBestFriends]

Dog food is only used for the first 24 hours until you get the correct bird formula for babies dog food is not good longer then that it’s just to get food and liquid into the bird . As it gets bigger you just add mealworm and insects to probably feed it correctly to survive in the wild , what is it going to find dog food in the wild? Please research so that poor baby doesn’t suffer like this one most likely did because he released it to early

[@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

[@cynthiajoy8082]

You have to mix water with the food! He could’ve done a better job of mixing but that is how baby birds get their moisture! But he should’ve been feeding the bird every 30 minutes at that age and keeping it warm.

[@lexig8506]

Good information, but the video is from 3 years ago and he obviously did just fine Appreciate your concern though

[@RachelGreen-td3ij]

It died

Don’t hydrate it to much or it will drown

House sparrow

[@christinerizzi4952]

[@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 :)
