  1. well first of all I'm sorry about your mom, and hope that she gets well real soon.  second, on the baby bird, If you have some raw hamburg, mix just a little with a little water and if it'll open it's beak and take that it will be getting it's meat and water, not much just a pinch, I would take that leg and splint it with just a little tape, it's way too young for seeds, keep it warm...... chanches are it won't make it, but you get an A for trying.  good luck


  2. For most injured birds, place them gently in a box and keep them quiet, dark and cool. It may be that the bird is in shock and will soon recover so you can let it go. If it is more seriously injured, this will reduce stress on the bird until you can get advice on how you can help it.

    The RSPB does not have bird hospitals or a rescue service because it is a conservation charity. The RSPCA, your local vet or a local animal rescue centre, have the expertise to help and advise you about sick and injured birds and animals.

  3. Look around where you found it and see if you can discover the nest. If you can slip it in the nest. Its matters not if it is the one it came out of.

  4. If this bird is injured, it needs to go to a local wildlife rehab.  Vets don't treat wildlife.  Look here for a rehab near you:

  5. take them to a vet clinic that can help them.
