Hand feeding a fledgling house sparrow

- This not so yet independent house sparrow couldn't get off the ground yet. Maybe the extra energy from the egg yolk that I hand fed it would help it get off the ground. These house sparrows are great survivalists. I found them once in a big box warehouse, in the rice isle.

These fledgling are thrown out of the nest when they are this age so they can learn to fly. They learn to fly from the grount and the parents still drop down to feed them.
I'm not sure about that. There was one under a car for 2 days on the same spot. I saw it today lying one it's back in the heat. I picked it up and took it inside to cool off. It was feeling better and moving around. I took it back to the tree and a few hours later it was by the curb on its back again. I don't think it was being fed at all.
It's shows what a good man you are to be strong yet take care of something so natural and sweet ,pure.Your a very good person to help him and he helped you too.❤️💜💙
Thanks. I appreciate your comment. Just what a normal person should do.
I'm glad you saved him. I was trying to find out what to feed a baby sparrow and some rescues are saying soaked cat and dog food among other foods. Hope he survived
Yes, I fed him and let him loose outside.
@@wtam69 wonderful! It was so kind of you to help him! I love watching and feeding those little birds, too
Hope he makes it. If he's got a shot at it, it's all because of you!
Thanks. They'll all manage to survive.
Thank you. You are a good man.
Just found a baby sparrow in the middle of the street and almost got ran over by a car.. I know it's not in the best place to take it home and rehabilitate it because there parents might be nearby but I wasn't gonna wait till something happened.. hopefully once he becomes used to me he will eat out my hand too.. small steps to help him become independent..
How is the bird doing? I hope it’s gaining some strength.
I just found one in the st myself debating on what to do and how to care for it. He won’t fly
God bless you
Nature is so crual but you know that is life
Doctor Dolittle I presume. Awesome sire. Have an amazing day. Keep us updated with it's progress please.
Thank you Raymond. These birds are actually quite smart.
My aggravating cats got one yesterday. Dont know if it fell out of a nest somewhere or if they took it out. We managed to take it from them. I have been feeding it worms from my compost. Its still at the age where it opens its mouth and waits. Im hoping the lil guy makes. Ty for feeding this lil fellow. 🤜🤛
Birds that are attacked by cats need to get antibiotics or they will die.
Nice 😀😀😀
That’s a fledgling and doesn’t need help. It’s normal for them jump out of their nests and to the ground while barely flying. Their parents still feed them and they easily die under human care.
We tried to help a pretty young fledgling yesterday out in 88⁰ heat with no sign of help. Refused to eat anything i gave or try to drink, and now she's dying. Poor bird
Sometimes they don't make it so it's very sad. I found most birds are frightened initially and after a while they'll adjust and respond to your offer of food. Let's hope for your bird, it's the latter scenario.
My cat got one today too… I tried to give her egg yolk but she refused to eat and just closes her eyes while panting. So very sad :(
We can only try.
This man fed a bird another bird 😂
I saved one from the dog, luckily it didn't seem injured but it was very wet. So I kept it warm and dry for a while and it managed to fly off.
I found just like that sparrow who can't fly and eat on its own. And they're in my house too!
Same
What did you feed it ? Is rice okay for the bird?? I found one today and I don't know what shall I feed him except rice.
No dont the yellow in a hard boil egg is ok
Ibadapbiang Lyngdoh Nongum its not dogs you feedeing and you cant even feed it milk
Ibadapbiang Lyngdoh Nongum i just search for the nest and put it back he/she seems fine
(P.s. i check the nest once a week to see if he/she still there or he/she falls again to the ground
I found one with a huge ball of nesting material like feathers, strings, and stuff and the string was tied very tightly around his leg. I removed it because he couldn’t do anything with that stuff stuck on him, and he could get anywhere off the ground. The string was so tight around his leg that you could see what I think is the bone, and the leg is purplish, toes are curled, and the leg is stiff and cold and he can’t move it at all and keeps tripping over it. (He wasn’t bleeding at all.) I read up about it and idk if his leg will fall off or what, but it says birds can adapt to having one leg, so I was just wondering if anyone has any idea what I can do to try and help him heal, or make the process of the leg falling off easier or safer so he doesn’t start bleeding to death or anything. Any help would be appreciated 🥺
The bird needs a vet.
That's amazing! My brother just gave me a robin fledgling that was going to be killed on the road but it won't eat ☹
Is the bird okay?
Yeah. Just found a house sparrow fledgling tonight but it won't eat yet. Hoping tomorrow it will
@@AzulaisQueen743 unfortunately it died ☹ hope yours does better!
@@theirishcailin333 unfortunately probably not. He hasn't eaten since last night and it's 8 AM
@@AzulaisQueen743 how's it?
Good job my friend! I just found one like him. trying to feed him and give him water. Any tips? Thanks
I’m expert but I just gave the bird some egg yolk for a start.
I mean I’m no expert.
Don't use newspaper because maybe any holy name on the newspaper
how often did you feed it? how much time between each feeding?
Every 4 hours should suffice.
@@wtam69 how long did you keep him? I have one right now. I don't hand feed him.
I just fed it a couple of times, maybe 3 hours or so after the initial feeding.
what should be the interval between two times of food?
Every 2 to 3 hours should do.
We had a sparrow fledgling just like the one in the video stuck on our balcony (we live beneath the roof where I suspect the nest is located). After reading up on the internet about how sparrows are brought up we decided not to intervene. At first we were confident that the parents were up to the task of feeding their little one. The baby seemed healthy and pooped healthy little drops of sparrow poop. However, on the morning of the third day, the little sparrow suddenly seemed weak and distressed. And litterally within a couple of minutes it died. We buried the little one under a tree in our back yard. Its parents came flying carrying food in their beaks for another hour or so, looking for their child, but finally gave up and accepted the truth. I wonder if we could have saved the little one. It was so sad and heartbreaking to see the little fellow pass away.
Thank you for story. Nothing is as it seems and nature can be cruel.
I found one out in the open tonight, not hidden nor high off the ground, and didn't budge when I approached or when I picked him up so I took him inside for the night. If you release them at sunup their parents will still be right there where you found them normally
I just found a fledgling finch today and I have absolutely no idea what to feed it, wildlife says it’s too old for them to take
Egg yolk always worked for me.
wtam69 thx, would i need to cook the yolk?
@@carly5635 Yes. Just cook a hard boiled egg and use the yolk. When the water boils, cook the egg for 5 minutes and it is done.
wtam69 ok thanks for your help I don’t think the bird is going to make it much longer he’s refusing to eat no matter what I try.
@@carly5635 You can only do so much. Good luck.
Can i feed it superworms?
I believe so.
Is it now the season of falling baby sparrows just found one dont know what to do its seems like try to fly but cant so it jumps and side in tight spaces just rescued it coz the neighbours cat tryna eat it
There are two schools. One is the parents are watching from above and it'll be ok or you try to give it a little help. I try not to mention this, but earlier in Spring I had to clean off non living ones off my driveway and yard for two days in a row.
How did he get on in the end?
I am glad you asked. I released him and it flew into a bush. Then I never saw him again. Or maybe I did and not recognize him.
Where u keep baby sparrow? In room or some where else and what was his food other then egg
I just kept it for a few hours, fed it and let it go.
The bird I found is really aggressive and scared. It's got no mother and cant fly. When I try feed it it tries to peck my hands. Is there anything you reccomend to do
Leave it alone for a while to let it calm down. Then try to feed it again. Good luck.
@@wtam69 Thanks for replying and the advice!
Same situation happend today i found sparrow in backyard unable to fly didnt eat anything
Takes a while for the bird to calm down. Then it’ll eat.
@@wtam69 thank you so much … its looks new born may be… because sparrow feathers looks little small
What should i feed i have one baby sparrow feather is all around him but still small, in my area we have, rice, biscuit, egg and other stuff easy to acces ai what do i need to fewd
If you have softened cat food, u can feed it to the fledgling. They also live to eat egg yolk as well.
I just found one with a broken leg. How do i nurse it back to health and what do i feed it?
That’s a tough one. You might have to take it to a vet.
@@wtam69 yeah definitely don't have that kind of money and the wildlife place near me is already closed.
Hope no one makes a staff out of it.
My cat brought a bird that is just slightly too small to fly. I am in isolation and need to feed it something. I don't have celeriac wheat. What can I feed it?
Egg yolk.
Egg yolk from a hard boiled egg.
@@wtam69 thanks for the response. That was a good call the little guy gobbled it up!
Some pets got slow and after 2 days they died i dnt know why can anybdy tell me why pets got slow?
We caught a fledling phillippines sparrow in a trash bin and we tried to fed him but he wont it i dont want him to die and idk what to do :(
You can wait and see. They are hardy so when he's used to the new environment maybe he'll start eating.
What do you give four food
I give egg yolk. Other people give worms.
@@wtam69 thank you very much 😘😊
I found a baby blue jay and it has a bold bump on his neck is that bad?!Im really worried
Sorry but that's not good.
wtam69 what is it?
@@katelynhicks332 I'm no vet so I can only guess it's either an injury or a tumor of some kind.
wtam69 that’s what I was thinking too.But the other day we went out side and he flew away!!So hopefully he makes it on his own
hi my cats brought a baby bird (a fledgling) yesterday and it cant fly. how and what do i feed it because it doesnt eat
It's probably too afraid. You can't force the bird to eat. Let it calm down and try later.
I realize this is too late but just in case it happens again. Is am caring for a fledging now. It took about 12 hours before he would eat the first time but it has now been a week and he is doing great. I started with feeding every 3-4 hours and feed him a mix of Honest Kitchen Beef dog food topper mixed with some pre soaked chia seeds and chopped up meal worms. He has not started to eat on his own yet, I have to feed him like the parent would by dropping it into his mouth. I put a small amount on the end of a plastic knife and he opens his mouth and I drop it in until he is full. I just cut back to every 5 1/2 hour feedings now that it has been a week.
@@jryan217 Thanks for your input.
Plss tell what to feed the fledging sparrow 🥺
Egg yolk for a start.
@@wtam69 okk thank you I just found a fledgling bird who is standing in the cornor from morning and now I took it 🥺
Feed a bird another bird.. perhaps try chicken nuggets next lol.. it's like feeding humans fried placenta.. This is cool tho my daughter has one I'm trying to help her with info.. if anybody can give me some information on how to take care of one of these birds it would appreciate it
I saved one from cats today, about same age but he’s not soo keen on eating.
I got one today and its already used to me and wants to be fed Everytime and am feeding it raw rice and it's eating it very well but am not sure if it's healthy for the sparrow
If it is a sparrow, do not feed it earthworms. They are semi-poiconous to that breed.
You fed a bird, egg?
Is that a no no?
wtam69 well if he ate the egg and is fine afterwards then it’s a yes
@@wtam69 I did a bit of research on it, its totally normal
The yolk of the egg is for the chick. Is what the chick eats after hatching.
Yes you're supposed to give them egg for nutrients, feed my parrots some once a month
I watched this video because there was a fledgling that I found literally sprinting around my house. I'm not sure what to do with it, but I'm currently feeding it broken up seeds and water through a syringe. I'm kind of nervous on what to do, I have cats that go outside so I can't let it outside. And I can't spot any other fledglings anywhere near my house. it would be cruel to keep it, especially since I have cats, I was thinking of keeping it until it can fly, is it a good idea? Or should I let it out rn?
If you are not comfortable keeping, then you shouldn't.
@@wtam69 no no, I'd love to look after it! But I don't know if it's right. Like, is it wrong for me to do so? and what should I do with it?
@@lucidkool9869 Go with your instincts. I went with mine. Kept it for a little while and then let it go.
He's parents weren't far away. Never take them. You kidnapped him buddy
Released him shortly after the video. Thanks for your input.
I just found a sparrow slightly younger than this bird in the video. The main reason I took it in is because I read the baby needs to be 85 degrees. It will be cold tonight. If I release it back where we found it how will the parents keep it warm?
@@anti-antifa3656 You'll never know.
@@wtam69 well I put it back where I found it and a hawk got it out of the bushes... I knew I should of kept it until it could fly. RIP baby bird.
My sparrow is not even opening its beak
Let it get used to the environment then try again.
@@wtam69 ok. Thank You so much
Mine is not eating what should I do 🥺
When I put it out side every sparrow fight with it
Just keep it warm and comfy. When it wants to eat, it'll eat.
Scrambled eggs? 🤦🏼♂️
Hard boiled or scrambled.
I came here cause I found a sparrow too thanks a lot
