HELP!!! not sure where to post this but yesterday I found a robin fledgling stuck to a bee trap! it had already lost a bunch of feathers and its entire wing was stuck and its face. I was slow and carefull, and I was successful in removing it, but it is missing most of its left wing feathers. they were nesting on our porch and were leaving the nest. the parents are nowhere to be found. I was able to use olive oil and soap to remove the sticky stuff (I rinsed it afterward) its wing was swollen and bloody, so I cleaned it and sprayed poultry disenfectent and no pick on it. I am feeding it warm raspberries, blueberries and spongy dog food (warm soaked in water) I woke up every hour to feed him (cubby) last night and am worn out. what should I do??? there are no wildlife rehabilitation centers in my area. we are leaving this weekend and no-one is willing to watch him for me (I do not blame them(LOL!) but what should I do?!!:!?!?!? everyone is telling me to put him out of his misery since he cannot fly, but I just won't give a healthy bird that injustice!!! when will he grow his feathers back? when will he be able to feed himself? AM I THE ONLY CRAZY PERSON WHO WOULD HELP HIM!?!?!?! (I know there are some of you out there ;)) PLEASE HELP!!! I could get a bird cage for a decent price if I need one. but I really do not think I could take many more nights of this! I really want to save him....it was our stupid bee strap after all...:hit:hit:hitthe wind storm blew it off from where it was hanging. Poor little Cubby!!!!! help please! (I couldn't post this last night because we had no internet) Bless you all who read this!!!!
 
You could get some sleep by covering his cage or box at sundown and uncovering him early in the morning.

That would follow the normal sleep pattern of a baby/fledgling bird.

Canned dogfood thinned with just a bit of water fed on a popsicle stick is best for feeding. High protein and unlikely to cause diarrhea.

You are a good soul.
