I found a baby bird it was wet and cold I made a nest and I have it and been smashing up worms and feeding it what else should I feed it? What all do I need to do??? I made a nest out of a bowl and I added dryerlent and newspaper? I see doves around my neighbors a lot I think it may be a dove? Is there anyplace that will take it and take care of it?

Answer #2

you should take it to a local vet or rehab facility baby birds are on a 20-30 min feeding schedule until the sun goes down… if you’re going to try to feed it make sure a little(not a whole lot tho) dirt stays on the worms it helps them digest you’re going to need to keep it warm thru the night its a lot of work…handle it gingerly as baby birds are VERY delicate … best to call the local bird place or audobon society ..they could tell you where to bring it good luck you could always put him back with the others see if he goes along

Answer #3
