How Do You Make Baby Bird Rescue Food?
• Check the bird is abandoned or lost. It is wrong to take baby birds from their nest when the mother bird will likely return. Check for injuries as well, and do not try to feed if injured. • Mix up egg yolk with some powdered baby food or brown bread crumbs (freshly made) and some water to turn it into a liquid consistency. • Pour the mixture into a clean eye dropper. • Feed. The bird will open its mouth if it wants to eat. It will also keep its mouth closed when it has had enough. Don’t force it – return later. Get to a vet or sanctuary as soon as possible. If you are raising the bird by hand, however, repeat feeding with this mix as needed but do seek veterinary advice quickly on the correct food and feeding procedures for your species of bird.
