Help! Baby Bird has Fallen from Nest

If the chickens have come home to roost, and the eagle has landed.. then it is only proper that the baby bird has fallen from the nest. message received

last year a baby robin found it's way into my place. the next morning i brought it outside and it's parents/family were all happy to see her. i would put the robin on a low branch or sometimes ground and it's parents would feed it.
i fed it mango and strawberries and worms. it was very happy and became my friend, flying or hopping over to me, landing on my finger, whistling to each other, good times.

That is a myth and never ever tell that to anyone again! If you know where the nest is and can reach put it back in there (unelss chiken snakes and climb trees).

bring the baby in. Feed it a puppy food. Mix it with water so it is consistency of a chewed up worm. Use a dropper to feed small amounts. do like 3 droppers of small amounts. Wait and an hour or two and come back. Gently rub the end of the dropper on the chicks beak a few times. If it is hungry it will open its mouth.

I am not certain on time intervals so search it on the net.

You can also use baby food to feed it.

There's a great, lengthy thread about it here, I think from last year. Put the subject in the search box above and look...happens every year. I had to kill a seven foot chicken snake I found in my henhouse a few weeks ago...I'm in n.e. Alabama. You must be southern because up north , where I'm originally from, we call them rat or corn snakes. The one in my henhouse was eating tons of eggs..yolks poured out of him after my son shot his head off. I feel terrible..I didn't know at the time he wasn't dangerous...but I still don't know how we could have relocated him ..

Mommy bird found Birdie!

Birdie wasn't in the nest this morning but I found nearby in some brush being protected by Mommy.

Since my baby bird killing dog was showing interest, I relocated Birdie back to the nest on my carport & made a barrier where it couldn't just hop out but Mommy still has access.

I was able to get Birdie to eat a little bit of the dog food & honey mix. I'm now water bug hunting since I read somewhere that was the highest protein bug & good for them. Since mommy knows the location of Birdie I'm hoping she can take over feeding responsibilities, but I'll continue to try and feed it.

Chicken snakes are amazing climbers! The way they can scadatle up the side of a big tree is amazing.

make a rescue video op. it will go viral.

Yes, I'm in north Louisiana just north of I-20.

There's a huge chicken snake in my barn and he's a welcome resident that pays rent by eating mice. Lol I've named him Ralph. Last spring a girl boarding her horse here had called me 3 times repeatedly. Tho I was busy I finally gave her a call back and Ralph had her scared to death as she was in the back of the barn and he was hanging in the door way! I just giggled & told her that was Ralph, she was NOT amused.

Birdie escaped again to a poison ivy infested area requiring me to retrieve it.

I put it back in the same area, but in a tall box, maybe 15 inches tall. I hope by now Mommy bird realizes I'm not a predator!

Bake it for 20 minutes at 350 degrees and it will be good to eat.

Stomp on it and watch its brains squirt out..

That's what I do, they are dead anyways...

Birdie is still alive!
