Need baby bird help!!!!!!

emmygrace · ‎02-12-2020

This is the fourth baby bird I've found by the front door to my apt building! This little guy was barely breathing...I moved him to a safe place, out of the rain. The others have vanished..but I'm sure they didn't make it. She has the nest very high...under the gutter..she has been nesting there for years...but I haven't seen anything like this. I'm just venting...I feel so sad...

Look for a wildlife rescue group. Maybe someone would come and help move the nest or do something to block the birds from nesting there. Also hopefully take care of the baby bird. My husband and I have taken birds to wildlife rescues before.

Unfortunately if the baby is out of the nest and barely breathing, there's probably not much that can be done to save him.....except to pray that he doesn't suffer.

So sad.....

You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.

My dad took care of a baby bird when I was a kid. Hardly out of the egg long. Brought it into the house and it was kept in a shoebox and fed it worms and very wet with water pieces of bread. Amazingly it thrived and got his wings and when he was ready he was in the back yard and flew. This was a robin by the way. He would fly back to my dad too and sit on his head. I have pictures. A lot of work but very rewarding. It can be done. Of course my dad was raised on a dairy farm in Iowa so used to taking care of animals.
good luck with whatever you decide to do to help.

I know...my dog's very sad too..(because he knows I'm sad!) I'll pray he doesn't suffer... At least he knows someone cared...hopefully he'll join his little bird siblings in heaven..

Yes..the nest is in a bad place...there's another nest on the other side! You and your hubby are wonderful!
