    Yo Mike, please remember that he normally would be co-sleeping with other siblings. Your hands are good replacements for their contact and should hold him more often especially after feedings. He really likes the warmth too. It's the difference cuddling with someone before you fall asleep and not having someone to cuddle with. By all means what u do for these bald intelligent orphans is invaluable. I wish there were more strong souls like u in the World, like you. 🤗 You are a fantastic blessing!!! 🤩

      It’s nice that he’s trying to save a bird, but he’s saving the WRONG SPECIES of bird. Starlings are an invasive species in the United States. They kill native songbirds, including purple martins. Purple martins can no longer nest in the eastern United States because of starlings and other invasive species out-competing them for nesting sites. This guy needs to quit saving starlings. Kill them. Spend your time and money saving native species of birds.

      @@romyhernandez7811 An educator, that's who. Try to educate your own dumbass about the balance of nature and things such as starlings that are destroying native species in the United States. Here's another animal you can research: The Burmese Python, imported by stupid people, and got loose in the wild, are now multiplying in Florida and wiping out many species of animals.
      Here's another: Check out UA-cam channel: Purple Martin Conservation, and see how European Starlings and House Sparrows have out-competed the Purple Martin for nesting sites in the US. Here's another link for you to check. EDUCATE YOURSELF: www.purplemartin.org/purple-martins/competitors/64/non-native/
      Also, trust that I have helped many people and animals over my lifetime, certainly more than you will ever do, you pompous asshole.
      "Leave him in peace?" Hell no, I won't do that! I will always fight to save billions of native species of animals in the United States. You can go to hell with your rude comment.
      You probably leave your cat roam outside, to kill native species of songbirds, just for sport. That's another pitiful situation that has killed millions of native species of songbirds and other native animals, as well. Cats are largely responsible for 33 species of songbirds going extinct. Look it up.

      Hi I have a question for you Mike. I have a momma sparrow living somewhere in our roof area. She keeps kicking the baby’s out or they’re just falling. But I have one that is still alive I’ve had him for almost 4 days. Eating and poops are good. He’s energetic and all but only leans on his right side. When he eats his little head is so bent. I’m not sure if maybe he was injured from the fall or sick possible. Which scares me- I don’t know if I could get sick from him. I can’t find any information on line about this. Please is you have any answers. I can’t morally stop caring for him at this point. 🥺

      Thank you, yes here too, now that I work full-time, I don't come across as many birds in need of rescue. I did find a baby Grosbeak recently, whose parents had been killed in the city near a high-rise building. I could not seem to get this bird to eat or cooperate, he was not well and he did not last but a day. I did film some footage because he was such an unusual bird for this area, I had never heard of a grosbeak. Still trying to decide if I should edit this into something or not. Because he didn't make it.

    We did this when we were kids in the mid 60's in central Massachusetts. One time we had three birds. Elm trees were removed due to disease and when the tall tree came down so did the nest of birds. My Mom, when she was feeding them and they would chirp, she would "beep" back at them. Before they could fly they would run along behind us in the backyard, fly a little run a little. They would take a bath in a puddle on the picnic table. As soon as they could fly we let them be outside all the time. We could walk out on the back stoop and hear them chirping and when we would "beep' back they would fly down to us and land on our finger. The neighbors were amazed! Everyone in the area knew who to bring lost birds to. We raised many birds this way. Even today at 72 years old I'm still feeding birds. Only now I'm in central Florida and they're semi wild hawks. Never captive, always free, but they will sometimes come if I call to them. One will fly down and grab food off a plate that I am holding in my hand. This level of trust took years to develop. The neighbors are amazed.

    Very good lesson. I rescued two naked woodpecker nestlings still with closed eyes following a storm. Followed your examples with feeding but also gave them live mealworms. Got in some tree branches for them to peck and jump. They grew so fast in three weeks abled to fight each other and flew away like rockets. One thing I found out about woodpeckers, they have strong sharp peckers with wriggly tongues coming out like serpent. They also attacked their mealworms as if they were snakes. Beautiful experience raising them.

    Bird Rescue Reminder: Whenever Possible, Put The Bird Back In The Nest. This is job one, because no one can raise the bird better than the parent bird.
    I never take a bird if there is a viable nest, or any way for the parent to feed it. Honestly, it is best to stay out of it, and let the adult birds do their normal work.
    Only intervene, when there is no nest, no parent, or if there is immediate urgent need to save the bird's life. Knowing when to help, and when NOT to help, is the hard decision we all make.
    Encouragement and gratitude to anyone who cares, and anyone who helps these beautiful creatures. Great vibes everyone, fly on!

    • @4RedDwarf3
      @4RedDwarf3 5 років тому +1

      I wouldn't know the statistics, but I am agreeing with you that most people that don't have the time to dedicate to a baby bird should put it in the tree undergrowth. What you do is admirable, and a great deed, but most people that take on this task, no matter how good their intentions, most likely it will die... sometimes just through stress. Oh and one more point, birds don't like being looked down on, it scares them, they think you are a predator. ;)

    I found a baby Grackle yesterday while watering. Parents were freaking out. I couldn't see the nest but I also have very tall trees. At dusk I decided it was enough and brought him inside. I ran to the pet store and got grubs and super worms I can gut load. THANK you for the information. Going to apply to raise little Petrie here :)

    Hi Mike. Chris and Sara Bellore from Staten Island N.Y.
    We just adopted a Starling yesterday evening. My wife brought him home from a strip mall where she found him on the ground along rhe wall. He must have fell out of a nest that is above the roll down gates of a pizzeria.
    Anyway, there he is; "Brooks," as we named him, after the character from the movie, "Shawshank Redemption."
    We are very grateful for your supportive video. Thanks for the pointers.
    He's sleeping now. He's a bit older than the one that was in the beginning of the video. I suppose in 30 days he'll be fluttering around if we can keep him healthy.
    I noticed that you had a Yankee AND Mets shirt on in the video.
    Cardinal Ring TOO!
    Baseball Bird Man!
    Again, thanks Mike, and God Bless you as you are a gentleman and a kind soul.

      That doesn’t mean he can fly, though. Or are you just pointing out the irony in it?

    Its amazing how fast they grow.
    My brother, sister and I used to find baby birds once and a while when we were kids and we were lucky enough that our neighbors could look after them till they were old enough to go back to the wild. That was 30 years ago and I spoke to them recently and they mentioned how much they miss doing it and that they looked forward to each summer because we usually found 1-2 birds a year.

    Grateful for your video. I just found one today out in my garden walkway. It's tiny, eyes aren't even open yet. The starling nests i know of are in the eaves of the barn, not where I can safely get it into one. I've been running around crazy trying to find insects and I've given it some bits of the meat of some cherries. If it survives the night, I now have a game plan on other foods to give it. I could never keep up trying to catch bugs. Thank you for the info in this video🙏
