Ugaboy:Feed it with live earthworms and let it forage for insects. Try to examine if it has no fractures on its wings. It should be able to heal itself in some weeks |

I don't think u can rear it though without the proper knowledge. Look for the nest and put it back and stop touching it with Ur bare hands before like 2 days before putting it back. If u don't do this the mother will reject it and it will starve to death. |

Ugaboy: Hi Ugaboy, Sorry I'm coming late. Hope the bird is still alive. Keeping a bird of that age alive is extremely difficult but here are some tips: Providing warmth: Put it an cage with cloth bedding and keep the cage near a burning stove (I actually prefer electric cooker to avoid smoke). Ensure there's enough shade to reduce light but allow free flow of warm air. Feeding: Grind dawa seed and mix it with warm water, put it in a syringe with no needle and put the pointed end it the bird's mouth and gently squeeze. The bird has a natural instinct to open its mouth so this shouldn't be a problem. However, the mixture must not be too hot or too cold, must not be too watery or too thick and you must not squeeze hard. Handling: Don't hold the bird the way you're holding it in the picture (with the two winds clipped behind). Firstly, pet birds are never held that. Only birds meant to be killed are held that way and they don't like it so it's not good for bonding. Secondly, this one is way too young for that. Try not to move it around so much but when you must, keep it on your palm and place the other hand on its back so it wouldn't move and fall. Bonding: At this age, feeding it is enough bonding exercise already. You don't have to do extra. It doesn't have a developed sense of fear, it only has the instincts to eat, so you can be the provider and claim the position of a caretaker. You'd be the mother it knows and it would never be afraid of you as an adult bird. Then, you can play with it but doing too much now could have an adverse effect. So I suggest you feed it constantly (every couple of hours), little at a time. Stay near it where it can see you all the time but resist the urge to be touchy. Make exactly the same sound each time you feed it. Be extremely gentle and never get angry or show shock even when it misbehaves. Trust will be broken at the slightest sense of fear. Grooming: As it grows, teach it to pick up food from your palm. You can start by feeding it with your fingers and make sure you let it see what it's eating. Then proceed to putting its mixture on your palm and encouraging it to pick it up. It will stagger but it will eventually learn. Then proceed to giving it the full seeds and water separately. Finally, offer it the food and water in containers. Flight: Please, don't clip its wings. Some do that but it causes a lot of emotional distress/depression in birds. You can tell by how they'd start plucking their own feathers, losing appetite and becoming less tolerant to human presence and generally less active. Don't worry, it might never really fly as high as others in the wild. If you're afraid it might fly away when you're outside, you're right! That could happen. However, if you try not to take it to a crowdy and noisy place or anywhere it could easily get startled, then it will always stick around you even when outside. If you're still scared, you could decide to keep it indoors and only bring it outside in its cage to receive sunlight occasionally. Good luck! 4 Likes 2 Shares |

cruxgemmata: Smash the grain possibly to near powdery level, try and put it in a warm environment and little drop of water. No need for antibiotics, cos it's just a juvenile bird. |

mema900:Yes, going by your logic if you are near death on the road no one should save you because you'll die one day, last last. Very good.

You can't!... that's a weaver bird, it's not a tameable bird like the Dove, so it will eventually die without its parents aid. |

Weaver birds must be nesting close to your home. This is one of their chicks. Unfortunately, it might not survive since you're not an expert at caring for birds. |
