Can you tell me about your experience with raising baby birds?

 

When they get older, birds tend to hang out in the centre of their nests, where it’s warm and humid. Put the bird carefully into a tiny box lined with tissues, paper towels, or something similar. Use a sheet of newspaper or a towel to cover the box sloppily. Begin feeding the bird throughout its awake hours for the first two or three days if it is hospitalised and cannot be taken outside to shelter immediately. If the bird’s condition worsens, you should get in touch with wildlife rehabilitators in your area for guidance in finding a vet who can provide safe and humane surgical care for the bird.

Then it’s important to remember that animal diseases can transfer to people.
