A Sparrow Rescue Documentary
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
A short documentary of how we rescued this abandoned baby bird in the summer of 2014.
As it was found in a flower pot on day one of its life, we kept it warm, safe, and fed, later naming her 'Sammie The Sparrow' once her feathers came in, allowing us to recognize her as a sparrow.

Just beautiful. I found one this weekend and I managed to keep it alive until this morning. I found a "bird rescue" who took it from me and I'm sure they will do a better job. I had to ward off 4 cats and 2 dogs all weekend. My anxiety was crazy high!! But I didnt want this poor little bird to die.
This is so beautiful your a great father !

Great Mike for rescuing such a tiny creature and raising and letting it be free out in the nature. May God bless you
Mike, truly you are a bird whisperer Thank you for your touching, inspirational stories. I garden and hear the birds but I have a new understanding of their presence. I hope I get to know more about my bird occupants. Thank you

What to feed 1day old sparrow ?
Thanks for helping animals!
I absolutely adore watching your bird rescues! You're a wonderful friend to these little creatures! Thank you and keep making these lovely videos!
Wish everybody who finds a helpless animal would be like you. I do that too. We have 3 sparrows from the street and they grew up with us. But they wouldnt stay alive outside. One of them has only a half wing on one side. All of them have no fear from dogs because we have a dog and they fly in the same room with the dog. We try our best they will have a good and long life....
Great sir. From India 👍
Man... you’re such an inspiration to me... thank you so much for doing this video... I got a baby sparrow fell from a tree, I’m doing my best to keep him alive and healthy... your videos are a big help... thanks again
What a kind man.
Thanks. I used to not care for Sparrows but then the stinkin Starlings way overwhelmed the neighborhood and I grew to dislike the Starlings and like the Sparrows. I remember being in Holland in early 2011 and Crows dominated the air. For some reason, I just feel uncomfortable when an eco-system appears to be overpopulated with one species. Nature works but sometimes it is annoying. Good job. I like your Sparrow.
Yes, on Day 97, she finally flew away, never to return to my shoulder. Up until then, we would go outside, and she would stay in the area for about 20 or thirty minutes, until she came back to my shoulder, or the cage, and back in side. One day she stayed out all night, then back in the morning. Finally, she stopped coming back. There is more about this on one of my other clips... View this one, it contains some different photos and video footage of Sammie as she developed: kzread.info/dash/bejne/moiXlNV-ndzdf7g.html

Female sparrows are said to fly around and search for mates, while males wait and defend their territory. That's why I'm hoping my male sparrow will never leave me. But still, interesting fact with the 97 days. I'm still around one month, so we'll just have to wait and see...

Cute little documenting of your experience. That was a male bird, for what it's worth. You can tell by the black plumage developing on the chin and chest.

I am often asked what to feed an abandoned baby bird. In this new video, I explain what, how, and when to feed an orphaned nestling. Good luck in your rescuing! And remember, only get involved when there are no parent birds tending to their little one. kzread.info/dash/bejne/aJONj6-Oc7WzerQ.html

You can feed mealworms. Cut them into half and use tweezers
I was giving baby food, but the grains that makes sense... and no water... I'm pretty sure that was the doom cuz she was growing good to that point. But how often do u feed and is it round the clock? Anyway thanks for the reply it is appreciated 🐦
This morning sparrow babies in my home came out of their nests, they were exploring the outer world but unfortunately a cat ate both of them. It's disheartening but still it is what wildlife is😢
Говорят что воробьи не могут жить в неволе,но если выкормить слетка ,он будет чрезвычайно преданный.
I've come across finding a sparrow just recently. I tried to find the nest but I didn't have any luck. I had took him home not wanting him to get hurt, considering he's only a hatchling. I researched as soon as I returned home with him. I called the Wild Rescue but they are too far from my area, and I have no way of getting the poor thing to a Rescue clinic. So I've had to take on raising it as of for now. Do you have anyyyy tips on how I can keep him in the right heating he needs? I found out I could give them cat kibble (moistened) I learned about keeping the body tempature at a certain level. He even began chirping this being the 2nd night, more than the first night I've found him. He's not chirping too much and not too less, I don't know if he's uncomfortable or hungry. I really wish I'll soon find a way to bring him somewhere where he can be looked after
Nice. My wife has a pet sparrow she raised since he was featherless also. He won’t leave her side. We thought it was a female at first. Not. He is a little over 2 years old now. How is your bird doing?
Hello Mike and thanks for beatiful video... I just found little sparrow yeasterday on the my way home.. Saw videos and feed him right but the thing is i wanna let him go after he grow up.. C t find eny information how should i do that:( Maby you have some good tips for me? Thanks in advance! Gaida

Only 2-3% of sparrows will meet their second birthday, and this one is both half-domestic and weak. So instead of returning it to the wild you can just drown it, it would be more or less same result (also wonder how baby bird actually behaves during drowning).
That’s amazing😊. What did you feed it when it was so little and how often?Can it survive out in the nature? Thanks for sharing👍🏻😊

Little birds can be given an assortment of things to eat. For say, you'd wanna give it something high in protein, however being very young it might struggle digesting it. So whilst worms, bugs and what not are amazing, they might not be the best for the first two days. You'll want something like dried cat food, which you will soak up in water (it's a must) and combine it with fruits, anything acidic. Oranges, pineapple(small amounts) and berries. After the 2nd and 3rd day you can already start feeding the bird mushed up bush (just squish them) preferably either worms or bugs you can identify, nothing poisonous or venomous. Sunflower seeds are also amazing, birds love them, you can feed them corn that's smashed up (even the bagged ones we used to make food, it's called mamaliga in Romanian). After 4-5th or maybe 6th day (depends on birds) I would leave worms on the floor and try to teach it to eat them. How? Feed her normally but make the bird need to go a bit more forward to actually take the food, rather than placing it in their beak. They should get the idea. Oh, and avoid bread. Whilst it's not necessarily killing them it'll clog their intestines. But yeah, birds can pretty much eat anything, including meat. Insects are better since they digest them easier and have way more protein and nutriments. Just remember, if they only eat from you, you will need to provide them with water. Either in the form of fruit or mashed up seeds combined with it.

Grilled is a lot better, however insects have more protein, heck, I ate a lot of crickets and ants myself, they taste nice. So keep that in mind, your regular taratula owner can tell you how to make bugs get gutloaded by feeding them stuff, so the birb gets nutrients from the stuff the bugs eat.

I have a baby sparrow that I found laying in the corner of my horse stall. I took it home, and it seems fine other than it doesn't have an appetite. i've had to very carefully and easily try and force feed it. Once I get the syringe in it's mouth, it starts to feed. Is this normal because it's stressed out? Do you have any tips or advice that could help me? ❤

You might not have done anything wrong, the great majority of found, abandoned baby birds don't last more than a day. I never recommend giving them water, because it is easy to drown a baby bird. They also could swallow it wrong and get pneumonia, and perish over the next few days, because of water. We recommend just giving them moist food, like the mother would regurgitate: high protein, even human Gerber baby food that is high in protein, Gerber chicken, or multi grain cereal that you stir with water to a smooth consistency. The main thing, is that you tried, and helped. :-)

How did you keep it warm? I found a newborn that had taken a 9 foot fall to concrete and was still alive but he only lasted 2 days. I kept him warm using a reptile heating pad which was covered with a folded T-shirt, I also place a dish of water on the heating pad to provide humidity, it was 90 degrees and 80% humidity. Still he stopped eating after 2 days and passed away, I used the same baby bird formula Kaytee Exacty as I had on other baby birds. Just curious if you simply covered him or also used a heater. This is my third bird rescue but my first Sparrow so young. I am guessing the fall did some internal damage. thanks

xoomvids baby sparrows shouldn't be fed that as babies they are insectivores... there is a recipe that can be found for a proper mash for them on a Sterling forum sorry name has escaped me right now but it's 1 cup of dry dog food or cat food you need a high quality one with chicken as first ingredient, it should be as close to 30% protein 9% fat as you can find, soak the kibble to get to a soft thick oatmeal consistency, I boiled egg, 1/4 cup apple sauce, 750 mg calcium (time solved in water) and avian vitamin supplement (follow dosage on packaging) mix together we'll portion it and freeze it taking out and defrosting as needed in microwave as it spoils after an hour...

I am here to witness the gospel of our Salvation to lost souls. How can a lost soul get saved? Here's how!! If you haven't trusted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, TODAY is the day of your Salvation, please accept your free gift that was purchased and paid for the sins of the whole world. Romans 6:23 kjb - For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The Gospel (the good news)!! Salvation is not your 'good works', 'religion' or 'rituals', it's God's Work On The Cross. Religion says you have to do something. Jesus Christ said, "IT IS FINISHED". Jesus Christ is God, manifest in the flesh and He came on earth to die for our sins. He bore our sins on the cross of Calvary. Have you accepted His free gift of Salvation? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour? Have you truly BELIEVED from your heart that Jesus Christ is LORD? Have you BELIEVED in the death, burial and resurrection found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4 KING JAMES Bible? That's how a lost soul can get saved. Remember that it's NOT what we do that gets us saved, it's what Jesus Christ DID on the cross of Calvary, that's what SAVES a lost soul. Ephesians 1:13 KJB - SAVED and SEALED until the day of redemption. Ephesians 2:8-9 KJB - 8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast. Take this opportunity and please accept your free gift of ETERNAL LIFE now because time is running out. Please get saved before it's too late for your soul!! John 3:18 kjb - He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. Heaven and Hell are REAL, LITERAL places. There's ONLY 1 Eternity to choose from, Heaven or Hell, choose wisely for your soul!! How to receive your free gift of Salvation - Please watch - kzread.info/dash/bejne/iZxluLdmj7KsaZs.html Grace and Peace to all!!
Mine is ditto same. 💘💕💖
