Sparrow Rescue - part one

- On July 5, 2016, this baby sparrow was found incessantly chirping for food, at midnight! Someone had placed him in a container in a tree in front of a busy, brightly-lit hotel, and no adult birds were present to feed him, or keep him warm. Unable to find the original nest, human intervention became necessary for its survival.

Just keep the little guy, they make good companions. You're his daddy now, its a gift😊
Thank you for helping the sparrow ❤
Oh, this little bird is so wonderful, I am happy that people like you care
Mike, I saved a sparrow who wouldn't open his/her beak. I was watching your video for advice. Once "Beep Beep" (kids named it) heard your bird, he/she joined the conversation and I was Finally able to feed this sweet baby.
thank you
Leslie Harris-LeBard I recently found a baby sparrow and the same thing happened😂 He didn't eat for a whole day then I started playing this and he immediately ate a lot. I gave him dog food mixed with water until it was mushy like applesauce, through in some mashed meal worms and earth worms and he loved it!❤
Leslie Harris-LeBard I named him Mordecai
I had a house sparrow a few days old. Called her wonderful. She got fed constantly.and eventually she'd eat on her own. Fly around crawl up your side and sleep. She eventually was take outside I'd love her cage open and in a tree. I'd come home she'd land on my shoulder and we'd go in .3wks latter she showed up with a male and they flew off. I kept cage outside for a few wks never saw her again.i can only hope she had a great life and babies.
I've literally just found an abandoned sparrow chick in my garden. I'm hoping your video gives me the knowledge to get it through the night. Thanks for posting this video and thanks for being a kind person.
OMG, the world needs more people like you!!!
Karen J dont say that, instead say “I’m gonna be like him”
🐾🐦Most certain Love & Light
thats sooooo cute, that she only eats wen hidden, awwwwwwwww. god bless you sir.
I like how he made you take apart a whole wall just to get to him 😆 soo cute
Thats so good. You are a real man. Its good to see people like you.
I would become so attached i would not want him to leave.
Cheers Grant
Oh he looks exactly like the sparrow I was taking care of.. unfortunately she died due to unknown circumstances after I came home from the hair salon. Had her 8 days
You are amazing with these wee birds x
U r 👼 the way u TC of such babies are just amazing ,god bless u
I like how you look after the bird god bless you
Thanks for your kindness to this little one, but what did you give him as food? and how many times in a day, and how did you give him water???
Usually babies need to eat at least 3 times a day. You can buy baby food at the pet store.
No water
you are a good hearted man
I'm agree with Karen the world need more people like you. 😊
And less KARENS in the world. Sir? I want to se the manager!
I raised a sparrow, my dog found two on the ground under the tree they were in, I built a cage and made a nest for them. one died the other made it and when he got his feathers it jus wanted to leave, so I opened the cage . it flew out and went right back in the tree he fell out of. I hoped it survived. its a real job, they eat constantly,
Great video. I also have a sparrow that is older than yours. I found him yesterday trapped inside my school hallway while I was picking up my sister from Summer Camp. There are no other sparrows or nests around that area.
Was unsure what to do, and have been keeping him/her inside a box filled with grass in my house. It's not very lively and seems to be very weak. It also may have a leg injury as it has difficulty keeping itself upright. I've been hand feeding it bread and a bit of water but it refuses to eat most times. The internet tells me to feed it protein - either puppy food or insects. I do not have either and there are no pet shops in my area. The temperature in my house is about 21-22 Degrees Celsius and I have difficulty keeping him warm. Used some cotton cloth with some paper towels and grass to create a temporary nest.
I have also taken it outside to a park a few blocks away from my school where it interacted with some other sparrows, though none of them appeared to be the parents. It can not fly yet at the moment. I'm not sure if that is because it hasn't learned yet; isn't mature enough; or if it is because of the leg injury.
I'm afraid it will die. Please help.
You have to feed protein, because it is growing like crazy every day, it will not survive on bread and water. Any store in your area will sell dry kitten food or puppy food, that you can soak in water until it is soft and spongy, and feed it little pieces of that carefully with a tweezer. Alternately, you can feed it any food that has protein, like Gerber baby food that is high in protein, with chicken, multigrain cereal that you add water to, like in oatmeal consistency, or cooked egg yolk, even bits of scrambled egg, tiny pieces of fruits like strawberry or blueberry.
If it has no feathers it has to be kept at 90°F, if it has feathers 80° is OK. You can use some kind of heating pad, or a hot water bottle that is covered with something so it does not get burned.
Keep us posted!
Thank you! Fed it some cooked egg yolk with tweezers and it seemed all right but kind of weird feeding a bird chicken eggs every few hours. It does have feathers and I've put it next to a warm water bottle. It's weaker than it was yesterday though.. I think it might be sick or stressed. I have washed my hands before and after every time in contact with it. Btw, can I catch a disease from it/ Should I take it to some sort of vet?
God bless your heart
God bless you
I found a fledgling in a pool of water. It looked dead, but I noticed its feet shaking. Looked like the very last movements before death. Just in case I fetched it out of the water, it was very near death, most likely spent the night in the water. I put it near heater and it came around a bit more. as it neared being dry, I pet it a bit but it did not respond much. I began to look on the internet for what I should feed it. Heard the scolding of others for those who pick up birds who appear alone but are not because their parents are always near them while they learn to fly and eat on their own. So I thought if I could only chirp like a bird, maybe it would have hope. So I looked up on youtube and this video came up. I played the chirping loud for the bird and it instantly began to chirp back. It actually moved around a bit. Then I heard those that wrote how the parents are always near, so I sat it out side near the spot I found it. Many sparrows were outside and they were chirping, the little bird instantly began calling out. I prayed the parents would hear it. Not but 4 maybe 5 minutes and it flew out of the bucket and right to it's parents near by. They greeted each other and have hours later now been flying around out front. Never had anything quite like it happen to me before. Happy ending indeed. So this video brought life back to a little bird and those who spoke of not picking up birds that appear lost were so very right. Made my day, and just wanted to share. God bless
Wow, what an awesome story! You totally saved that bird! I'm glad my video helped LOL
Even when I was editing my video, sometimes my baby sparrow would answer himself when he heard his voice over my speakers...
Birds are the coolest you would half to be a terrible person to leave one alone and hungry this guy is a great human being.
I love your videos! ty for posting.
thanks for sharing this video I'm new friend here
Thank you
my baby Sparrow just died 😢😢😢
Can u please recommend me what I can feed the “newborn baby house sparrow” I found. Any suggestions would help
Never give them water, they can drown., moisture from their food is all they need.
Found a robin hatchling in an overturned nest. After several hours of waiting the parents never made it back.
Puppy chow (moistened) mixed with berries, Geber baby formula and bananas. Thanks TH-cam.
12 days later, he is now ready to start learning to pick worms and insects on his own.
Raising 2 right now.
Good work
How much do you feed them and how often? I have a rescue sparrow wch is 14 days old now. Im worried that im doing something wrong.
Adorable.Kitten food, isn't that akin to cannibalism, there's chicken in cat food.Do they eat mealworms?
me and my friends found three baby Robins abandoned in there nest and one of them had there leg stuck in a hole of the nest thank god we saved them.and we did feed them wet cat food and named them.the largest was ridian and the smallest was Cory and the second largest was coreline.we used a spoon and fed it from above like a mommy bird.it was sad because in three days they were taken by a bird expert. :(
I get a sparrow baby bird 🐦 fallen from nest today is lockdown so what ti give fir feeding at home 🏡 please tell fast ...
My baby bird is weeping 😥
What are you feeding him
Que belleza 😍😍😍
Good man.👍
I also found a little baby sparrow outside. He couldn't fly properly, only a meter or so, he would mostly run and jump about a foot or so.. I took him home to help him get bigger but he did not eat nor drink. He would sit by the window and callin all the time, it looked like he was calling his mother. By day 3 I got worried about him not eating. I thought maybe his trying to tell me that he is not happy that I brought him in, maybe the mother is somewhere outside and waiting for him, maybe he would be better off outside and the mother would look after him, and many more maybes.. as I don't have much experience about baby sparrows and how long it would take for them to trust me and start eating the food I offer them, finally I decided to let him go out.. I'm still not sure if I did a right or wrong thing.. but I didn't want him to die of starvation inside my home.
What are you feeding your little bird... I found one on our garden.. the nest is abandoned and we decided to keep it..
03:30 he poopooped on your shirt!LOL
My birds do that all over my window sill😢
Can u please mention what food u r giving to it ? I need to know it bcz i fnd a little sparrow orphan
Food? Hell yea!
That was nice but the one i have is much younger, it hasnt any feathers or cant stand up
Can I know what do u feed for the baby bird? ???

You're like the birdman
What did you feed it?

Bird chirp: FEED MEEEEEEhhhhhh *says in deep voice*
@MikeFranzman
I rescued a baby sparrow which has been fallen form his nest
Tell me how to feed him and baby bird was so scared 😑😑
Please suggest me something....
It's just like a sparrow but in our language it's jungle sparrow..
But the bird u have taken in your hand in this video is called home sparrow ( in our language)...
hay i found a house sparrow in the road nearly killed by a cat.. now his/her eye on one side looks covered over or blind.. i donno if its a juvenile or a female.. so two questions as this sparrow will not leave me at all .. how do you know if its a juvenile or a female? and second in this video what are you feeding the juvenile? as i know nothing about birds but i have tried every where to find out the difference and there dont seem to be any answers
How do you keep finding all these abandoned birds I want one
People bring them to me, usually if the parent birds have been killed, or if there is no nest or adult in the area. I often have to refuse them, due to having to work at a job for a living.
@@mikeyfranz what formula you feed those sparrows?
Lmao i have a sparrow that im rescuing and i think i have to keep it forever because its an adult and cant perch or drink without help or me holding him up right
hilarious actually it went in the wall and u had to take it apart !
What he is feeding
Please save us🙏 we are rapidly extincting day by day there is no food water & no house for us...
🐥🕊️🪶.
Even we have equal right in this ecosystem as you* don't kill us... Let us live pls provide some food & water if possible leave a small area for our house 🏡 even we have families pls think about us 🥺 ... Help us 🙏.
Keep ficus trees it's our favorite tree & we make our nests in it.
- SPARROW
Powerful
Did anyone else see the moment he pooped on him???
I found a fledgling sparrow. I feed it milk and water and some cooked rice but it only drank some milk and water.it's hopping very fast and I am not sure what to do with it as If I leave it outside a cat or dog might kill it.what I should do.
Update?
@@lou3642 By the grace of God ,we were able to save her,she comes sometimes with her group in our courtyard.
That's amazing. Just a heads up for future bird rescuers. Only bird milk is ok for birds. Cows milk can make them sick.
@@PriyaKumari-wg9nv unfortunately, the baby I had found and waited to return to the nest that was later destroyed by a storm, died 8 days after finding her. No clue what happened, I had been at a hair appointment when she passed. I miss her greatly
@@lou3642 It's ok.At least you tried to save it,you are a kind soul.
Hopefully he survives since usually parents show them how to.find food. And there are many people that don't live house sparrows and kill them .
I just had my bird die on me :/ it had been attacked by something and had too much damage to its lungs, worst thing about it was my younger sister got it on video
Masah.allah
I just found a baby sparrow and I don't have any idea how to feed and what to give
did he survive??? Mine just died 😭 now after 3 days of survival
@@minksshaf24 nope he died tomorrow 😭
@@rishirawat7715 how? I don't know what was my mistake he was alright but within half an hour he became faint and fir
@@minksshaf24 yes sir I also don't understand , how he died? What was my mistake?
@@rishirawat7715 Allah/God will give us it's reward and I just inserted a bird feeder in my home because it's hard to get over... I don't even cry for human s but that baby Sparrow 😭😭

We have our own baby sparrow. She will not let us pet her without snapping at the 'finnies'. It's so adorable but after 2 1/2 yrs, it's getting kind of annoying that she doesn't like being loved and petted. She'll insist on landing on our shoulder but doesn't like it when I try to show her affection. Is there any way of getting a sparrow to learn to like being petted? She's going to be with us for at least the next 5 years so...
Here is some very helpful information, for anyone who has to rescue a baby bird:
