Yes, I know, it's illegal, but do I care? No. I'm here because I need help, so if you're gonna tell me that it's illegal and I should call a wildlife rehabilitator (There are none) or leave it to die (out of the question) you can close this tab or move on to another thread
Now if you actually want to help me keep this baby alive and release it, then please stay
It's in a box next to me for now with some heat. I've had him for about an hour or two, and It's starting to move around, I guess it got used to it's environment, right now , he/she is looking around and stretching.
It ate a tiny eathworm, and tried to eat another just now but it fell and he kinda gave up. He follow my had around with its head, not relly scared anymore. I don't know if earthworms are good? It's getting late so I doubt I can give him anything else, but I will try to go buy grilled mealworms tomorrow.
I think it's about 3-4 weeks old, seems to have a malformation on the left foot, he can't really grip anything with it as the back talon does not seem to be able to be moved backwards (maybe that's how he fell off?)

) Use oatmeal or wet chick starter mush to syringe feed it.. around how old would you guess it is? You can also give it a drop of water at a time thru a syringe. A whole worm is very hard to swallow and digest for a baby bird because the parents partially digest it for them during feeding time. Best of luck with your little bird!
