Well I just found baby robins in my backyard I’ve done research and I don’t know what to do my mom is scared of birds and I brought them inside and this is very helpful
I don't know that showing an image of a syringe with a hypodermic needle attached is quite wise when telling people how to feed newly hatched baby birds 🤦♀️. Some people really aren't bright enough to realize that the needle shouldn't be used.
You would not use a syringe with needle for feeding. You would leave the needle off or risk stabbing the bird. Irresponsible to show and pass this misinformation.
Thank you so much for the information that helps out a lot I've been doing that with my two baby Robbins but my one baby bird is injured one foot and One Wing I'm doing my best for her and hoping she makes it
THANK YOU HELPFUL, INDEED. Some of those pictures were either of a Bluebird, however, unless it was a European Robin which looks different than ours. Thanks for making the video though!!!
Tiny Baby Baby Robins don't need to be fed every 5 to 10 minutes when it's formula. The parents bring tiny ants and itty bits that don't last. Get wild Bird formula if possible Soaked dry DOG kibble works too . This should be warm to the touch. I put the syringe in warm water, so it stays heated. Don't use the microwave because a hot spot in the formula can kill your baby. Weigh your baby, then fill the syringe to a certain amount based on baby weight and the formula lasts longer about an hour at first (it's very liquidy and gets thicker as the bird gets older) Try to feed small amounts once an hour (you can go 6 -7 hours at night while they sleep- and grow! for the first two for the first 3 days.) Days 4-7, the food starts to get chunkier and lasts a little longer- but now you have to teach them to drink water (a gentle fountain is great and it sparkles, so they nibble at it and learn about cool water. They do not know how to drink from a water bowl yet!! and don't even know what it is because the feeding response still has the baby opening it's mouth wide and upward... so the fountain let's then learn to reach forward and play with the water at their own pace. They drink a lot... and use the bathroom non-stop for the first 14 days At around 14 to 15 days, our baby started sticking his head in the fountain to take his first bath. 🤗 Add in small wax worms and small meal worms now. For meal worms - use tweazers and pop the worm right before feeding so you know it dies when baby eats. Some bugs have a tough exo skeleton right before shedding and if the baby doesn't pierce and chew it, or have enough digestive enzymes yet to kill the with and it CAN EAT IT'S WAY OUT OF YOUR BABY. 😮😮😮 So it's gross but quick . Just hold it wiggling, the baby will try to grab it and before you release, just squeeze the tweezers 😢 Life is hard. You have to gently move your hands around while the bird is perched so you can get them to exercise their wings. They also like berries and fruit. The first week will be Luke warm Dog kibble mixed with water - it will be slightly more liquid than pancake mix. After a couple days thicken to a pancake batter and start to mix in little bits of freeze dried insects (reptile aisle at pet store). chopped & hulled peanuts, a skwooshed berry, bit of apple... Make sure your taking the baby outside, let him play (while your with him.) And now you have to start teaching him to find bugs in the dirt 💫😄🐣🐤🐥
