Could a canary raise a baby sparrow?
GOSH. People and the rehabilitate centers. SPARROWS are not protected! You go ahead, and do what ever you want. And the canary would not try to raise it, because they know which baby bird is theirs. They will probably try to kill it because it looks like a threat in the form of disease. Sparrows carry alot of disease, and they are considered pests in some peoples eyes, but not me. How old does he appear to be? Here’s some info on how to take care of a baby sparrow: 1 can Ken-L Ration dog food 1 hardboiled egg, mashed 2 tablespoons Hi-Protein baby cereal Mix well. Form into rather large pellets (the size of a raisin). Offer to birds every half hour, feeding as much as they will take each time. Mixture may be refrigerated. Offer water from medicine dropper, but very little is needed and should be given carefully to avoid aspiration into lungs causing pneumonia. It is next to impossible to overfeed.
