Update On Orphan Baby Bird
First of all, thanks to everyone who replied to my first thread about the bird. We have been feeding him (him/her, I'll just say him) for about a week or so and ALL INJURIES HAVE HEALED AND HE IS GROWING GREAT! I never thought we could save him, but we did! He is growing feathers at an amazing rate! Here is a blurry picture I got of him today- a week or so ago he was bald with only a few tiny feathers!

Re: Update On Orphan Baby Bird
Congratulations on doing such a wonderful job!! I know nothing about birds (except they fly and like to poo on my car ) so can't offer you any advice. Is there a local wild animal rescue that could give you any information on how to prepare him/her for release?

Yep, it's a robin! We were planning on releasing him, but might contact the wildlife rescue first to see what to do.

Thanks! Yeah, we have a local rescue and will probably give them a call first!

Okay, so we took him to a wildlife center where they will raise him and he can interact with other young birds until he is released into the wild!

Re: Update On Orphan Baby Bird
Thank you so much for doing this... I am more of a reptile person, but birds are also special to me. It moves me when someone takes a bird in and takes care of it.

Re: Update On Orphan Baby Bird
Hey,
Good job on taking it in! Do you have an update on it? It's been a few months I see. I raised 3 baby birds a few years back. It's definitely a lot of work! Up at the crack of dawn, peeping for food...I sure did love those little things. Hope it worked out well for you!
