HELP!!! BABY BIRD RESCUE

I really don't remember too much about it, but I think you can feed them kitten milk replacer.

there was an article in the Westfield star recently"
Chris and Liz Hatton, who operate For the Birds of Indiana, nurse each one back to health before releasing them into the wild at their 121/2-acre property on Ind. 38, east of U.S. 31. Sometimes the couple have as many as 125 birds at a time.Phone (317) 877-1187
e-mail chris.hatton@mindspring.com call them asap and they should be able to help -here is some info from their website

To Rescue a baby:

i) Get a shoebox with air holes or a butter tub - even a paper sack with small airhole will do - and line it with a soft cloth or paper towel/toilet paper - do not use grass clippings as they are moist and cold.

ii) Cover the bird with a thin cloth or towel and carefully pick it up. Wear gloves if necessary.

iii ) Place it in the prepared container and be ready with the lid to close the top. Tape it closed.. (Some bird, such as ducklings, can jump surprisingly high).

iv) Keep the bird in a warm, dark dry place, away from pets and children. When transporting to a rehabber, avoid air-conditioning drafts ( baby birds in particular cannot control their body temperature) and keep radio at low volume.

v) In the case of birds which have been attacked by a cat or dog, it is very important that the bird receives antibiotics as soon as possible. Bacteria from the bite will kill a bird quickly without treatment.

A Critters Chance should be able to help you. I also have rescued a baby bird before and to keep it hydrated I mixed cat food and water together to feed it. Here is thier website so you can get in touch with them. There is also instructions on what to do if you find a baby animal. Hope this helps

Mom said she is very glad that you guys found the baby bird instead of one of your critters. Maddie and I helped a fledgling robin to death while mom was out of town. Dad was VERY upset with us, even though he knew we were just doing our jobs (sort of.) He loves birds. We were trying to love it, too...
