Question

What do you feed baby birds like sparrows, if they fall out of the bird house? Or should you put them back in?

Answer 1

Look in the phone book for an animal rehabilitator. If the bird is to have any chance at all it much be seen by a trained person. Good Luck And find this person ASAP

Answer 2

If you put them back in the nest can be absolutely no scent of you on the bird or the nest or the mother will reject it and the baby will die. If you try to raise it I think there are formulas you can buy to feed to the bird.

Answer 3

carefully put them back but try not to use your bare hands or the mother bird might reject them!

Answer 4

I would put them back.

Answer 5

Are you sure they fell out..of did they leave on their own. Please follow these instructions:

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:
