Baby sparrow feeding question?

Question

I found a baby sparrow on the ground about 1 and half weeks ago. Now when I put my finger around its peck, it wants to eat my finger. Does this mean that its ready for worms? Or it just wants to eat my finger?...

Answer 1

It probably associates your finger (or your hand in general) with eating.  Most baby birds eat insects or a specially formulated baby bird food, although I've heard of baby birds eating Science Diet Cat food.  You could try it on worms though.  It wouldn't hurt.
