baby bird robin
This little baby bird was in the street I would have hit him if I didn't stop The mother was there but nothing to do, the nest was impossible to find I think I'm his best chance for survival I manage to feed him and he is quite docile He's yelling at me for bread I hope to succeed in bringing back to being independent

Good for you David.
Get a pair of tweezers and squish a fly or a worm (protein) and feed him with that. Chances are that you will imprint it and have a friend for life.

Re: baby bird robin
It would be nice to have a little companion who would come to see me I really hope to make him grow he already has good feathers and flies a little Some tell me that in captivity he will let himself die I don't know much but I'm going to look for worms I know it's important that the worm is dead and soft It's with the water that I don't really know I'm really afraid to drown him give too much I don't want him to breathe water With bread soaked in water it's not very effective I think but better than nothing for the moment the time I find better way m'y Litle boy Want to touch it and It's hard to deal with both In addition I have to go to my niece's graduation ball with my car to bring her there for the youngsters of her age, my car is a real legend It's either he comes with me to drive 3 hours down there or I find someone to keep him take care of him while I'm gone I don't know if the car is a good idea, well, the car is on a trailer, we'd be in an air-conditioned van that drives quite softly for the 3hours ride I have to feed him at least every two hours

Re: baby bird robin
When I was 11 years old, we raised a baby mocking bird that fell from the nest, eyes closed and without feathers, fed it smashed dry cereal mixed with milk from a spoon. Amazingly it lived and grew up with feathers. Then my brother stepped on it, which ended that. But while it was alive, really enjoyed it.

Re: baby bird robin
Good on you David for saving the bird… As Bob mentioned worms are best…At the school I worked at Robins would go to heavily irrigated areas because it would drive the earthworms to the surface…. Around here we can by earthworms for fishing bait, Don’t know if you may have them where you live…. Another option may be a pet store for meal worms

Re: baby bird robin
A bath for the little pewpew I was surprised I was washing my fingers with earth and worm juice that's when he jumped into the dish that was at the bottom of the sink with a little water he wanted to wash his feathers
Just like that he jumped in
