What do you feed a baby martin that has fell from its nest?

Answer 1

No, do not feed it or put it back in the nest. If the mother bird does not come back to take or feed the baby bird, call or take it to a local bird sanctuary. Do not touch the bird unless in emergency or injured, the mother bird most likely will abonden the baby bird if it smells human scent on it and it will die. What ever you do, DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THE BABY BIRD YOURSELF. It is illegal and often very life threatening to the bird.

Answer 2

u can feed it mushed up worms i know its nasty but that's what they eat because there mother would eat the worm then throw up it back into the birds mouth.

but if u don't have the guts to do that take a piece of bread and put water on it until it is moist put it into a bowl and mix it up make sure its like apple sauce.

bread has no nutritional value for a bird, fills him up but not enough for him to be healthy. Instead of worms soak cat food in water till soft then feed one piece at a time. if bird still has down(no feathers) feed cooked egg yolk(no whites) mashed and mixed with water and feed bird with an eyedropper.

Answer 3

Did you already touch the finch? Usually it is not a good idea to touch the finch because the mother of the baby will not return if it smells human scent on their baby. If you haven't touched it yet, I would wait a few hours and see if the mother returns to take care of her baby...If not, it would be wise to pick up some specially made bird food from a local food store instead of feeding it human food.

Answer 4

I raised a baby mocking bird and my research found that small pieces of bread soaked in milk was the best. It worked great!

Answer 5

blended bread, milk and mealworms.

Answer 6

Bird parents do not abandon their young after they have fallen out of the nest. EVEN IF YOU TOUCH THEM.

Birds do not pick up human scent.

The parents will continue to feed their young if you leave them alone.

The bigger problem is keeping the neighborhood cats from killing them.
