How to foster baby robins?

Question

he/she has feathers shes red and grey

Answer 1

You don't.

You take it to a wildlife rehabilitation center where they have the equipment and supplies to properly care for it.

If you don't know what you're doing you could kill it.

Answer 2

You need to go to the petstore and get some formula. Formula for all birds. Get one cup and fill it with 1 cup of formula and one cup of warm water( The little cup that came with formula). Mix it well and use a syringe to feed it. Dont do too much at a time or it may regergitate. DONT give it water. It will choke. There is the right amount of water in the formula needed. Dont feed it worms. They have bacteria that could hurt them, only mom can break it down. When they are fledgling which it sounds like it to me they can eat watermelon, mealworms(HEADS cut off or they will eat its insides), bananas, veggies, and seeds(wild bird seed). Unless it cant hopp or sit on your finger or have any feathers you can feed him formula and he other foods listed. If he is pecking at stuff when you hold it then he doesnt need syringe. Only a bird cup.

WHen its flege age, all feathered and can sit on your finger. It needs a cage, perches, and feed/ water cups. The cage can be for a cockatiel, thats a fine sixe for it. Cut up all the foods listed and place them in the food dich and sprinkle seeds on the bottom of the cage and mealworms(With heads cut off) on the bottom, it teaches them how to foriege. You can even add a mirror. It keeps them intertained. Make sure that you keep the cage cleam with newspaper on the botom. The bird will be more happier. Place the cage near a window to calm him down as well. Still give him formula

When he can fly you can release him outside. As long as he can fly. He may come to you for food though. You could even keep him if you would like but get a bigger cage for him.

Goodluck

Answer 3

Oh be careful....I dunno could this work. You know you can never rerelease it to the wild after domestication? Try bird seeds and maybe worms from the garden. But baby robins eat regurgitated food from their moms so it'll have to be smushed up....They'll need 24 hour care!! So try some small worms or very soft ground dog food also you must very gently deposit the food down into throat while mouth is open do not force it. Then when they're older buy garden feeds in your garden center/pet shop. I hope the little baby will be ok.

Answer 4

You take it to your vet and ask 4 a place it can be taken care of by pros. You could I guess get formula and hav a rather unsusual pet,  but I don't want some1 who thinks they can release it after fostering it. It may not learn to fly right without help. Sorry about saying that about you, but I feel really bad about how the poor thing will end up. It wont migrate without a flock.

Answer 5

If the bird is fully feathered, it is most likely a fledgling and has left the nest on it's own and it's parents are caring for it. It is normal for birds to leave the nest before they can fly.   You need to replace it where you found it..preferably in a scrub or tree so it is relatively safe from predators, and the parents should come back to feed it.  If it is unfeathered...then look for a nest and if you can find it...replace it into the nest.  Do not worry about your scent being on the chick..birds have a very poorly developed sense of smell and will NOT reject a baby that has been touched.  If you cannot find a nest, get the bird to a local wildlife rehab for it's best chance of survival.  Also, keep in mind, it is illegal for you to try and raise this bird on your own.  Look for a rehab here:
