- If you need help raising a baby bird, you can use the information and diet on this video. You can send me questions, I will try and answer them as soon as I can.
For more info you can visit this following page which is for baby Sparrows and Starlings but works for most wild baby birds. www.wildlifehotline.com/wp-con...
Birdy, our baby European Greenfinch was orphaned when high winds dropped him from his nest. He was only 5 days old. This was the first time we ever found ourselves in such a situation and we hope that our experience can help others who find themselves raising a baby bird.
Remember: Birds are meant to be free, to fly and live in the open sky... - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
It's not crazy..believe me..they remember. I once raised a wild baby bluejay . Me and my ex separated and the bird (Mr. Blue) ended up 50 miles away with a friend. One day the lady forgot and had the window open and Mr Blue took off. I by this time had no idea what had happened to him and was just going on with my life. One day about 1 year later (trying not to cry ) I was telling someone in there backyard in the general area where he was originally raised about Mr Blue and down from the tree came Mr Blue!! He landed on my knee and was playing with my short strings (I had cut offs on at the time). I knew it was him because he lost a toe nail in a cage I had made him. He still remembered me after all that time! He took off finally, and I never saw him again. Maybe he just wanted to say thank you for rescuing him and say good bye one last time. So don't be surprised one day if your little bird comes back to say hello..
very sweet of u wish all people was kind for birds and anilmals and also each other.
My bird escape and never came back :(
That really is an amazing story. That he would fly so far and be able to find his former home and say hello to you is truly amazing. I was hoping after traveling all that distance that he would stay
Beautiful incident.... It has brought tears to my eyes..
At the moment I am raising a baby pigeon which fell in my balcony
Two months back ( maybe it was a week old when I found it)
Its naughty and cute now
I only hope ,after it flies off ,he will visit me now and then
They will hope and wait for it all their life , I think )
If he could talk, we would have definitely thanked you, thank for your kindness.
no. he would say "me and my bird army will spare you when the time comes"
Go on Birdy, you were born to a life on free wings, without chains to hold back your heart.
Love this concept
You did the right thing. No animal should ever live his/her life in a cage.
No, I'm not crying - I have something in my eye.
How beautiful. Birds are amazing creatures. Thank you for loving Birdy.
I'm raising one now. I had found a baby bird early Tuesday morning at 6 AM. Almost two weeks of taking care of him. I think I'll cry when his ability to fly and leave me. When that time comes, I hope he will remember me. I name him Angel.
I looked after a baby sparrow for 3days..But I knew deep down in my heart he had to go to a proper wild bird farm..I brought him back from near death and gave him a chance in life. I work to long hours to give him the attention he need..I cryed for hours when I had to say goodbye..
But I'm glad I gave him love,warmth and care..Strange how something so beautiful can melt your heart and hurts to part with..I just rang the place he is cared for and they have informed me I done a great job and he is doing fine..Yes!!! Fly high beautiful..I love you.💞💞
I've always said that birds are angels, had many raised from eggs, they are lovely..
I'm glad you were able to experience these amazing creatures like Birdie
Adorable! We rescued a baby dove a couple of years ago. We thought he was a goner. He was ice cold to the touch, barely alive. I put him between my palms and kept him there until he started moving. Soon, he was making little whistling noises and trying to sit up. So, we kept him for about three weeks, until he was strong and had all of his feathers. Then we gave him to a wild bird sanctuary (very traumatic for us!). I loved the way he demanded food by rapidly batting his wings. After raising him, I noticed that behavior in wild birds who had fledged from their nest but were still following their parents around and demanding food. I also saw a female sparrow do that in order to coax a male to mate with her.
You have such a hart ! Compassion
I raised a squirrel from 8 weeks
this was so sad. But it was good that u let him free. We love you Birdy! now I want to save a baby bird
Yeah and right when he was getting tame too.... so cute
you nurtured him well & later you let him go..salute to you..May Allah bless you...Allahu Akbar.
Beautiful, I've been feeding bird's in Switzerland for 2 years its the best way to spend your time
I absolutely love birds. I have a jay that I raised this Spring and let it go free about two months ago. But it comes back every day. It follows me while I am in the garden or if I go for a walk. I leave water and some food outside now because the days are so hot. He really loves cherries 🍒 😊.
@@maevaedwards 👍🐤🐤
Enough to make a grown man cry 🥺
He was so blessed to have you
You are so kind!!! I also adopted a baby pegion from a situation where he could die. I raised him by feeding rice and one day he flew away. I was so happy!!!
Der kleine Kerl ist sooo niedlich und hübsch. Ohne euch wäre er tot. Schön, dass es Menschen wie euch gibt!
Yo también encontré uno de 12 días y ahora tiene 2 años lo crié con papilla, me encantan los animales ❤
Ohh so cute...you saved a life ,a beautiful gift of Almighty and raised him/her so nicely to grow stronger with your great effort , now after watching your videos i also wished if i also get a opportunity i would love to do that..may God showers His blessings on "Birdy". THANK YOU GOD BLESS YOU
You are great guys for taking care and then releasing him. Stay happy.
Thank you so much. We found two fallen birds and one was alive. With this help we raised it into an adult and it was finally healthy enough to live outdoors. Thank you!
God I love birds! You did a great job!! I was moved by this video. Thank you!
Bernie,
Butterflies,
Birds and bees are all you need.
Omg how freekin cute is that!
Alright, who's been peeling onions?
Hahahah...
me
Isn't it so painful to end a relationship like this even after knowing that it's good for him. Thanks for taking care of him.
thank you! i recently found a baby bird that was abandoned by its mother and this is really helping me!
It's lovely story, I couldn't help crying in the end. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for taking care of the birdy fellow. We are so fragile when we are young.
As for me, I've decided to stay with my human family forever :]
Your family did good by caring it when it needed the most and allowing it to fly away when it was ready, I know it must've been very hard for your family, but y'all did the right thing. Lots of happiness to your family.
Beautiful! so good of you to let him go...
Or Alice Wolman, and fend off all by himself? both parents teach their chicks how to survive in the wild, how to find food, how to spot predators, etc.
Highly likely this bird didn't survive very long, of course they're exceptions. I would've kept it.
Still, I think it's wonderful that you let him go. It's the same as letting your own siblings go; they can crash in a car accident or in the Himalayas...but you have to let go. Thanks for sharing this
Or Alice Wolman. I think it was the best thing to do. I saw him a few times after he was freed for about a week. The European Green Finch lives for about 13 years. I was happy to give him a second chance.
Alvaro Quesada you are very negative. It's very sad to look at the world that way.... I felt I had to give this bird a second chance at life when I found him, and I did. These birds leave the nest at 14 days. Very young. Their parents only feed them and then they leave them on their own. They don't teach them about predators or how to get food. It's a natural instinct. They don't teach them how to fly either. Birdy knew how to fly all on its own.... I didn't teach him. He just knew. Alvaro, you have to see the positive in things and try to help when you can. I believe life gives you back what you give to others. And I'm a very happy person. Blessed to see how a little effort can change someone's life, or save a little creature and give it a second chance.
Life can beautiful, but it's up to you to make it that way.
or wolman, no it's not good that she let him go..that poor birdy is dead , why do i say that because a captive bird growing up and fed by a human doesn't know how to forge for food on their own....biggest mistake a non bird expert would do..if you ever find a lost bird then decides to rescue it please,"DON"T EVER LET IT GO FREE LIKE THAT''...his chance of making in this world is ZER0....when they're with thier parents they were taught what's food and where to look , predictors etc...only inexperience person would say the thing you would say..go ask any bird rescue place if birds raised from a baby would make it in our world, when they have no clue where to find food?!
I remember when I was young on the farm, my dad brought home a baby quail with a hurt wing. He taped his wing up and we kept him for a couple weeks and then let him go.
We just rescued a fledgling blue Tit. My kids have fallen in love with it and called it LEO. Having a hard time feeding it but thanks to this video I will be trying new technics to try and get it to feed tonight.
YAY! Good luck. Hope Leo grows into a beautiful happy bird.
Thank you.
How beautiful! Helping animals and birds is a wonderful thing. It changes our perspective on life. When we think how every day and night they need to find shelter, food and are constantly trying to stay safe. This is a lovely video.
What a labor of love. Thanks for sharing your experience!
Thank you for sharing. What a neat thing to see the stages. We did the same thing with a white wing dove rescued from being run over by a car. After two months, the sweet little thing flew strong, back in the wild again. Tears of joy 😂
It's a wisful feeling, isn't it? Watching them fly away. I cried, I was so sad to let him go, but it was what was best for him...
Thank you for taking care of this cute bird.
We've raised some small birds like this. All of them left us when they were ready to live free. Beautiful story
I found a dove egg and it hatched in my hand! I’ve had him for 4 days now and he’s very crazy. I feed him water with crushed seeds but strained so it’s just seed water and cooked egg yolk. He loves it! On day 5/ when he opens his eyes I will mix in some small seeds with his formula and start making it thicker and adding more ingredients such as dog food crushed finely and crushed oatmeal. He’s doing good so far but it never stops me from worrying that one day he may not make it through the night.i hope he does good!
I hope he' doing well ❤
How did it go with the dove?
Just adorable😄 Good parents👍💟
Thank you very much for posting this video. It was well done, very informative, and helped a lot. Hope Birdy is loving the open skies and eventually found a mate.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful story.
It's great to still see kindness in the world.
You did the right thing. He's Free As A Bird Now!
awesome, maeva. you and your family showed amazing dedication and love. i'm sure that your special friend remembers you all on some level...
Thanks. You are so kind.
Almost spiritual at the end like you were looking for his spirit out amongst the trees and I think you found it :) good job what a lovely animal! Thanks for sharing!
I have rescued a baby Willow Warbler at the moment and I totally understand what you mean about how these dear little birds who trust you and grow in front of your eyes make such an impact on your life. My little bird is a fly eater so I have to train him to eat flies and I am doing this right now. I also know that my bird will have to be strong enough to migrate in 8 weeks time and this part is the part I am worried about for him.
I'm sure you will do a great job. Birds are smart little fellows. They learn fast.
so cool. i HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW BUT HE IS IN NO CAGE HE GO ANYWHERE HE WANTS EVEN OUTSIDE ITS A SONG SPARROW. SO AWESOME VIDEO.
Thank u this really helped me raise an abandoned baby bird I found, his name is Desmond.
So glad I was able to help 😊
well done, you are a great person for keeping him alive.
I was overwhelmed with joy to see the cutest bonding of you with your birdy.I love it's name.Birdy.Love u dear.No words of appreciation to describe for this work n efforts u made to raise birdy.
Thanx dear 4 giving your red heart 2 me.
I do have adopted 1 sparrow baby i wish i could keep him/her for my whole life but i cant and i an think to make my guys after 2 week
He/she is with me since last week
#peace
#happy 😊
Bird lovers Where are you
😁
Right wit you
Your dedication to that bird was amazing.
Thanks, because it wasn't easy. I had to take time off just to be able to feed it all the time. It was like a baby. My teenage son took over when I had to go out.
Heart touching... This is call care... 🙏🙏🙏
This was amazing to watch!!! 'you are very beautiful and kind, in what you did for this little bird' 'Well done' xxxx
Aww, thanks!
Very Cute Baby Bird.
He is Grow Well With Kindness Ohner By
Look After.👍👍👍
What a wonderful job you did and good that you let Birdy be a bird .Minus flight they are prisoners .I feel sure Birdy is somewhere in Bird freedom land .Birds do change our life for ever .Due to a canada goose rescue I became vegan and see all birds for what they are , spectacular and absolutely beautiful .Hold on to your videos and memories Birds change us and wow it is magic :)👍🎶💚
Very well done. You must have big hearts.
Precious little angel
You did an awesome thing for this bird. Very unselfish too. You are to be praised and I am so glad you posted this and shared it with everyone. Wonderful job, beautiful. You have a wonderful family, and beautiful spirit to take such kind care of one of God's smallest creatures. Birds are very intelligent. I would not be surprised if he is near by when the season is right for him to be flocking in your neighborhood with his friends.
We have different species of finches which fly in from Mexico and different places generally in the spring around March to April, depending on our weather here in Oregon. If it is too cold, they come late, if it is warm, they come early. It is a sign for us that spring has arrived.
Thanks for sharing, I am bedridden much of the time, this made my day! Bless you!
when he walks he reminds me of dinosaurs era wow he so historic bird wow . thank you for your kindness 🙏
What a beautiful story...i was bit emotional at the end but at the same time was happy. God bless you☺🐥
God bless you too!
Yes, animals can change our lives for better and makes us better persons.
Awww this is awesome! I just rescued a baby sparrow and named it "Birdy" too!! :) Hopefully, we'll make it through our first night together and he'll be able to fly free in a few weeks too!! :)
VlogGrrr, how did it go?
Maeva Edwards
It's going great! I've got updates on my channel. He'll hopefully be ready to go free in a week or so!
VlogGrrr, so happy to hear that.
😊
VlogGrrr I rescued a baby sparrow when it had no feathers. been 5 weeks, he is so much bigger, so many feathers and active. When should I let him feed himself?
Tahishaly Fontanez
He should be reaching that point soon at about 6 weeks or so. Continue to feed him how you've been doing but start dropping some of his food on the floor right in front of him and let him peck at it for himself. Then pick it up and feed it to him. After a couple of days he'll actually peck at it and pick it up himself. Continue to feed him yourself but do this exercise as well and introduce a bowl of food in his cage.
You did the right thing .. twice!
Good that you let him go free even when it hurts ....!! Good Job all!!...
Wow this is so beautiful ! Thanks for posting this video !
one of the most beautiful experiences in life
Hermoso sentimiento de amor!! Amor y libertad!!
Heart touching ! Great work by u
I'm getting all emotional over here. I would have cried when the bird flew away. I get so attached that I would be constantly worrying about it and wondering if it was ok. You did a great job on the video and taking care of it. 🙏
Ty so much ch u have a baby bird with me right now! It’s a dove and I needed help Ty
Just discovered your video today. such a beautiful story.
Thanks :)
We need more people like you.
Such a beautiful story...i remember growing up an seeing many many greenfinches, but sadly their numbers have declined here in the west of Ireland, havent see one in many years..not sure why that is..well done 😉
This is sooo cute. It makes me sad I have to release my rescues soon too. 3 little birds 💕
We love you birdy and even love u more for saving him
Heart warming.
Beautiful story!
Awwww what a beatuful cute wittle babaayyyy,😊😊
:)
Maeva Edwards btw i hope hes doing ok😊
Me too!
you have a good heart
He would surely comeback one day
Awww I really do love birds
Must've been hard to watch him fly away from you.
But you and your family did a good job. God bless you
Thank you very much... It was very hard. I know he wasn't with us very long, but I cared for him 24/7. He very quickly became part of the family. In a way he was our baby. But even with ones own children there comes a time that you just have to let them fly free and find their way in life...
I had a similar story with a sparrow. It’s my dream to have the bird come fly back to my house to say hello every now and then. The bird who doesn’t forget the person who saved his life ...
It was my dream too. Unfortunately, it didn't happen for me...
Good video....but when I got a little older, I need to know how often to feed baby bird throughout not just infant age. I rescued a baby boy Eastern Bluebird.
tnx for this! i just found a little baby bird thou. but idk what tipe it is. it didnt whant to eat eny of been nike pooduct! it only ate the mixture u made! tnx!^^
Bird of all kinds are the coolest nature is beautiful and so rewarding
Well done you, greetings from Yorkshire England
Thank you for help and free him
I have always raised baby birds of all kinds and the formula I have found that works best having spoken to avian vets is dry cat food, and liquid calcium being the main two ingredients. Of course you soften the dry cat food in water, but never forget the liquid calcium. That is very important for all birds of all ages. Not saying what you are doing here is wrong. Just putting out what I did when I raised baby birds.
God has a special place for those that help the helpless.
Hola, en primer lugar quiero darle mi más sincera enhorabuena por haber conseguido sacar adelante a su pájaro, es un gesto inspirador y que le honra como persona.
Hace una semana recogí de la calle un Verderón muy parecido a Birdy, calculo que tedría unos 10 o 15 días de vida, pero todavía no podía volar bien. Empecé a alimentarlo con pienso de cría de Agaporni y alimento para gatos, todo hecho una pasta mezclada con agua. Después de una semana, el pajarillo evoluciona favorablemente y le he incorporado yema de huevo y zanahoria (ambos cocidos) y se lo come que da gusto cada 2 o 3 horas. Ahora mismo tiene un aspecto muy parecido al de Birdy en el minuto 3 del vídeo. Lo he tenido todo el tiempo suelto en una habitación para que practique el vuelo y se fortalezca.
En fin, el animal va estupendamente pero tengo algunas dudas que, como persona totalmente inexperta en la materia, me inquietan. La primera es en qué momento y cómo se le introduce la comida en forma de alpiste/semillas y el agua para que se vaya independizando, ya que mi intención es soltarlo cuanto antes pero con un mínimo de garantías de que pueda valerse por sí mismo.
Mi segunda duda es si es necesario darle de comer a mitad de noche, como he escuchado en algún que otro vídeo. He probado en alguna ocasión a darle de comer de noche y el pájaro parece no estar muy interesado.
En fin, gracias de antemano y un afectuoso saludo de otro amante de los pájaros!
Thanks for the information for the next time I find an abandoned baby bird (they are very common were I live)
listmentions23 what the heck you creep I'm not telling you were I live why u need to know this
Lovely video! Thanks for sharing.
Cute birdy....
respect be happy God Will be Reward U ..........Love fOm pakistan
Thank you very much for helping the bird. But Im just wondering, is it wise to let go a home breeded bird to the wild? Will it know how to search for food as it was used to be fed? Will ig know to protect it self? Will it find a group of birds to live with?
From what i see with cats brought up in homes with humans and abanded in streets, they still afraid of street and other cats, they cant compete with street cats to get food ,and they still stick on the houses doors and try to be with humans.
Maybe birds are different? Just asking
Please help, would this formula work for a baby mockingbird? I found him in the middle of a empty field and I'm not too sure about what they eat or how much should I feed him?
This bird is soo cute i like baby and big birds too😄👍😊😍😄🐣
Please help i found 3 baby nestlings and theyre breathing the smallest doesn't look to well and there all very weak they only eat and sleep what could i do to make them better i couldn't find a nest i feed them mashed strawberries and their poop isnt how its supposed to be
THAT WAS SO CUTEEE
