Blue Bird
How should I care for a young blue bird?
I found this baby blue bird. He had fallen out on his nest. It can’t fly, and still is about half downy, but some feathers are on his back end. He’ll eat grasshoppers, fed with tweezers, but it there anything else I can do for him? I have him in a cage with pine straw and leaves on the bottom, and some perches. I’m planning on letting him loose when he is ready. Thanks in advance!!!
If the bird is fully feathered, it is most likely a fledgling and has left the nest on it’s own and it’s parents are caring for it. It is normal for birds to leave the nest before they can fly. You need to replace it where you found it, preferably in a scrub or tree so it is relatively safe from predators, and the parents should come back to feed it. If it is unfeathered, then look for a nest and if you can find it, replace it into the nest. Do not worry about your scent being on the chick as birds have a very poorly developed sense of smell and will not reject a baby that has been touched. If you cannot find a nest, get the bird to a local wildlife rehab for it’s best chance of survival. Also, keep in mind, it is illegal for you to try and raise this bird on your own. All birds in the U.S. are protected by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Look for a rehab here:
