What do vegetarian birds eat.?

Question

I found 3 bird in my back yard. They were small and not a carnevore. They were all gray with a lttle black.I tried feeding them fruit salad. Im not sure if it ate it but I wanted to give it something nicer than just dried fruit. Please help!! Sorry I didnt give you much to give on . If you can please give me the type.

Answer 1

If you don't know what kind of birds they are - how did you determine they are not carnivores?   Most birds eat some sort of protien - that usually comes in the form of worms or insects.  

My guess is that you probably already have killed these birds by feeding them an inadequate diet. If you tried to give them fluid, they probably will aspirate and die because even though things look okay, infections set in and bye-bye birdy.  If you really want to help these birds, contact a local vet or wildlife rehabilitator.  Most will work with you and show you how to care for them properly.  You probably saved them from something bigger on the food chain but do the right thing and give them the care they deserve.  

Answer 2

Seeds. Try sunflower and pumpkin seeds. Also you could stop at a petco or petland discounts and get a bird food blend. They aren't expensive. You should get a little bird feeder for them or you could build one as a hobby  and fill it will seeds and watch them eat it, as well as other local pretty birds.

Answer 3

We need lots more info than you gave.

Kaytee Exact Baby Bird food, mixed with very warm water and fed through a syringe will save the day.  NO water into the beaks or they will die.

Call a local wildlife rehabber which you can find by Googling Wildlife Rehabbers.  By state they are listed.
