How Do You Feed Orphaned Baby Birds Seed?
If you find a baby bird that appears to be orphaned, don’t attempt to care for it until you’re sure. Look in surrounding bushes or trees for a nest from which it might have fallen. If the baby bird has fallen out of its nest, you can pick it up and put it back provided that you can reach the nest. Watch from a distance to see if any parents are still caring for the bird. If there is no evidence of a nest or parents, you can take the bird and care for it. Determine the orphaned baby bird’s age by the amount of feathers that is has. A hatchling will have only a soft, fuzzy down and the appearance of the formation of pin feathers. Baby birds with this appearance are approximately one week old. A two-week-old baby bird will have feathers and its eyes will be open. At three weeks a baby bird can move around, and at four weeks it will be attempting to fly.
