I also found two of them last week! And they have survived, could you please give me some instructions on what to feed them? I have birds food mixed with water as a paste and I feed them 4 to 5 times a day with a syringe… still I’m worried about their weight it has been 20g for days now and it won’t become more :(
Hi :) What kind of bird food? These are carnivorous birds, they eat insects. Your best bet is egg yolk and small bugs made into a paste. Please refer to video info and the comments here for more information on feeding and caring for them. Watch their excrement. If it's very bubbly, it's diarrhea.
@@technoshamanarchist I don’t know what type, they are colorful grains and I make them into powder and then add water, today is day 8 and they are active! I tried feeding then worms but they don’t like it, do you think I can also feed them egg yolk now? Also I have no idea how much to feed them each day! I’m always afraid to overfeed them 😭
@@janamedi3046 That sounds like budgie food, etc. Not for them! Are you sure they're swifts? How grown up are they? Get grasshoppers from a pet shop, chop them small and mi them with yolk for a paste. I don't know if you can overfeed them, they stop screaming when they're full.
one of the best mosquito hunters in the world and they are few in numbers , have one in my house right now a young one that dont want to eat , must go to force feed if he dont pick up , made him drink water , and i gave him some water with a little sugar ,and insect mixture ...they need help if they are on the ground , they cant take of and the youngster that fall from the nest are on there own that is why i try to help him or her , it would be dead anyhow if its on the ground
@@gardini100 Did you check out the links in the info part of the video? Please see "Feeding Technique" in link 2. Or "Opening the Beak" in link 3. Water is very important, too.
@@technoshamanarchist it is sure not easy , but i check on him all the time , not happy i got this task , wakes up in the morning about to sleep a little more and boom the bird , jumps out to check him ,and it is hard to know if he gets enough water i can se him swallows it , it feels so cruel to pester him all the time , but i guess it is the only ting i can do since in Norway the do not have any kind of bird care ,they had a line and they told me to put it back so the parrents could find them , but that was a huge lie
Your best option is live bugs (flies, crickets, grasshoppers, crushed and mixed with yolk if it's a baby), but until you get them egg yolk helps. You can drop water on the beak and it should lick it. Is it smaller than this one?
@@technoshamanarchist Yup she drank a lil bit of water, I tried to give her sugar syrup for now but I guess she didn't like it much. 😅 And her size is a bit smaller than this one
@@vibha4058 Then it's a baby still. They like to hang on to things to sleep, if they have the strength. Mine slept holding on to the edge of a cardboard box. Egg yolk is still good for food for a bit, but do get real insects for growth soon.

I had to force feed it for a while, then it started eating like crazy. Egg yolk is good for starters, and bugs.
@@technoshamanarchist eggs thats a good ide , i got mealworms and a bug mixsture that smells like hell dried but i mixed it with water
@@technoshamanarchist and any good ide to how to open that mouth gently ?

That’s a laughing dove cooing in the background
Yesterday, I found a common swift but she is not eating or drinking anything. Is there anything else than worms or bugs that I can feed her?

@@technoshamanarchist she is not willing to have egg yolk either 😕
@@vibha4058 You may have to force feed a bit first. Just don't choke it. Little pieces, or watered down in a syringe with no needle.
Mine doesn't eat insects
Try crushing them, and mixing them with egg yolk to make a paste.
