apperantly i am the local neighborhood bird lady. this afternoon after a huge thunderstorm rolled through some neighors kids brought me a baby robin that fell from a destroyed nest. Icant take it back outside because there are stray cats and owls in the area and i dont know which tree it came from(also kids that might hurt the baby bird) . So i called a bird rehab. but they are full and told me that they cant accept anymore common birds , now if it was a baby bird of prey or a endangered bird- that they would still accept.
What now?
The baby is fully feathered but unable to fly.
for now it sits in a toilet paper lined small wicker basket with a teddy bear as company, put that in a cat carrier to keep safe.
I fed it puppy kibbles soaked/softened in water,
its quiet and sleeping. How often do i feed it? what else can i feed? can i feed mushed chick starter , earthworms, lightning bugs and minced hicken breast?
any help is appreciated.
