Found a Small Sparrow Nestling

Ok guys, I guess I’ve been the angel of death this week, my sparrow passed and my shipment of fertilized eggs didn’t make it , power outage happened a day before or just after lock down. Unfortunate, but I’m looking to order chicks from somewhere if I can find any!

Oh, i'm so sorry, sometimes we just have really bad days, i hope everything works out for you! Good luck getting chicks!

It happens <<<hugs>>>
It is ridiculously hard to raise little naked baby birds. And I say this as someone who's first paying job was handfeeding parrots. Really hard. All you can do is your best.

Thanks! My sister in law told me she had a little sparrow too- actually found it at her dads (same place I found mine) years ago. She raised it successfully! She said it would always chirp at her at night in its cage (cuz it wanted to be with her) so she would let it sleep with her. Until one day she rolled over on it and killed it! She was telling me about it this afternoon, we had a good chuckle actually! But obviously when it happened when she was 15/16 she was crying.
