Let's just say, that you we're outside, and you find a bird. It's too young to survive on it's own. I have all of your answers. From what to feed your bird, howto keep them warm, and everything else! It's all here in this article.EditSteps1Make sure you have a box ( not too big) and put dried up grass - you may use grass shavings from the lawn mower. But make sure not to use paper shreds from theshredder or grass you picked from the ground. Because the paper shreds can strangle the bird to death and the grass makes the bird cold. And could freeze to death.

2Once you have all of that settled, you must keep the baby bird warm. Pour warmwater in a bottle and put paper towels around the it so that this doesn't burn them.3Baby birds eat every 10 or 20 minutes. Use an eye dropper and feed the bird canned dog, cat, or baby food. Make sure not to shove the eye dropper down the chick's throat. It could choke them.4After a long day of feeding, squirming, and peeping, the bird needs some sleep.If it curls up and isn't moving, it's not dead! It's sleeping, and this bird needs to sleep. It will tell you when it's awake and hungry again. Make sure you stay nearby, when they're sleeping; they need 100% attention.

EditTipsBe careful with its wings and legs. They can be broken with very little pressure.Don't let little children handle the wild animal.Always remember to release the bird back to its friends, after the bird has beencared for, for a while. It wants to be back with friends of it's own kind.Always wash your hands, after caring for, or holding the wild animal. This helpsboth you and the bird to stay healthy.Have a firm but gentle grip.

Get the worm into pieces like this long:-------Don't shove or force anything, if he isn't hungry or thirsty. Try again in 10-30min. or so.Make sure you give your bird a big cage with lots of space.
