Baby Robin Care

Ok, so I found a baby Robin in my yard. My nest box fell over and a baby was inside, one died from the fall and the other is ok.. I have Bobby (I just call him that do you know which one I’m talking about) and I called 6 rehab centers, all full, no one can help. I need help, I know it’s illegal to keep them, but only if you keep them as pets after grown, and I plan to release. All I need to know is what to feed it. I know about worms. dog food, crickets, flies and small fruit pieces and such, but I NEED PROFESSIONAL ADVICE, A BALANCED DIET WITH MEASUREMENTS OF INGREDIENTS FROM SOMEONE WHO HAS DONE THIS before. I AM WILLING TO DO ALL it takes To heLP the BAby Robin! ~Carrie~

Answer #1

I may not be proffesional, but im in the same situation, and I have done it before. You can but baby bird food at the store, Or you can make homeade food, As weird as it seems, puree dog food and berries and ad a little water to make it a mush, Put it an a ziplock bag or something then poke a little hols in the bottom to squeese it out, give the bird about 2 bites, they eat really slow. feed the baby robin about every 45minutes to an hour. they usually sleep for about 8 hours so dont worry about waking up every hour at night to feed it
