Found baby bird on ground stuck to pest sticky trap. Gently and using goo be gone, disentangled bird from trap. Then using goo be gone and Dawn dishwashing liquid, cleaned the birds wings, legs, beak, and feathers. Cleaned baby bird as much as possible until it began to shiver. Placed the bird onto wash cloths in a small contained lamp shade in a dark warm room. Once shivers stopped, I began trying to rehydrate and feed baby bird. Using a clean plastic men’s shirt collar stiffener, I gently pried the beak open and fed an initial combination of baked potato, bread, and Luke warm water. At 10pm when this occurred, that was the only combination of foods that I could provide liquefied.
Notably and after the 4th feeding, the bird could stand on its own and even balance its weight on the side of the lamp shade. Day #2 will hopefully consist of trying to find the mother bird, doing a second bathing to remove any remaining goo be gone, and feeding a high protein solution like Gerber’s chicken infant’s food.
If mother bird can’t be found, I’ll relinquish the baby bird to a local vet who can provide much better science-driven care.
