I rescued a baby robin from drowning yesterday!

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I saved a baby pigeon before. Me and my grandma used a eye dropper to feed it milk daily then it started to eat bird food. Then I taught it how to fly!!! and it wouldn't leave our house was outside waiting everyday!!! until 1 day my dad made me leave him out at night :[ and he was gone the next morning......

Why would you feed it milk? Where would the bird get milk in its natural surrounding? From its mom?
It fell from it's nest and was hiding in a corner. What did you want us to do? chew up flys and feed it to him? My grandma did this before when she owned lots of chickens and it grew up to be big and strong!
 
i hope this baby does okay, good luck to you..i know it isn't easy to save such a young bird but it can be done..my sister saved a blue jay and it lived for 10 years with her as a pet...
 
:cry: the poor little guy didnt make it... I don't get it, he was perfectly fine earlier today he even ate a worm that i gave him and then when i came home he was dead :(
 
I'm sorry. I've tried to save baby birds and usually at that age it seems like stress is usually what kills them. When their smaller they are more willing to take food and accept you as mommy and its much easier. At least you tried and didn't let the poor fella drown.
