The bird is obviously a new bird coming out of the nest. If you do come across a bird that shows up, it's usually okay and you don't need help. However, if you find the bird is not doing well and want to help it, there are a few things you can do. The most important thing is to take good care of the bird so that it can return to its natural habitat when it is strong and healthy enough to survive on its own.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Determine whether the bird needs help

1. 

   Determine whether the bird is a baby bird or a bird. It is clear that the baby bird has enough feathers and leaves the nest by itself, but is still nurtured and cared for by its parents. This is a natural stage in a bird's development, but we often get it wrong, because most birds clearly show that we don't really need help.
   • On the other hand, the baby bird needs to be in the nest. They do not have enough feathers and cannot stand or perch on a branch. If you find a baby bird, not a bird, it will most likely need your help.

2. 

   
   
   Leave the bird alone, unless it is in danger, such as being threatened by predators or a vehicle. It is normal for a new bird to leave the nest and live underground. In fact, they are still raised by the parents at this stage. However, if you see a bird lying on the ground in danger, you should place it on a tree to avoid threats. The bird already knows how to perch, so you can place it on a branch or bush slightly above the ground.
   • If the bird is in the yard, keep the dog and cat indoors.
   • Note, the baby bird is very immature and has no feathers on it, so it will be difficult to survive outside the nest.

3. 

   
   
   Do not touch the bird unless it really needs help. Leave the bird alone and watch it for a while from afar. You need to pay attention to the birds and other birds around. Chances are the parents will return to visit the chicks within an hour. advertisement

Method 2 of 3: Move the bird out to the clear

1. 

   
   
   Wash your hands before and after handling birds. Failure to wash your hands can expose you to the H5N1 virus, or avian flu virus, as well as spread germs or bacteria to birds. However, if the baby bird is in serious danger, you can use a towel, or gently lift it up and then wash your hands.

2. 

   Remove the bird or the baby bird from the danger zone. If you see a bird out on the road or near a predator, you can help take it away. Use a tissue or a piece of cloth, gently catch the bird and take it away. Try to be light and get into contact with the bird as quickly as possible.

3. 

   Bring the baby bird back to the nest. Since the young birds are not yet ready to live outside the nest, it is very important to bring them back to a warm and safe nest. Before picking up the baby bird, you need to look around, find the parents and other young birds to locate the nest.
   • If you can't find a nest, you'll need to build a new one. You can use a small basket or box, lined with a soft material, such as paper towels, as a cushion. You then place the baby bird and the new nest near where you found it. To ensure the safety of the bird, you should place the nest high so that the parents will easily find the baby birds and the predators will not.
   • The bird's sense of smell is not very sensitive, so the parents will continue to care for the baby even if you leave some human scent when you lift it up.

Method 3 of 3: Help the bird survive

1. 

   Contact your wildlife rescue or local forest center as quickly as possible. The aim is for the bird to be assigned to the specialist early on. Find out if they are willing to take care of the bird. These organizations may not have enough room for common animals, but they will have the facilities to nurture orphaned birds of rare or endangered species.
   • If there are no wildlife care workers in your area and you have to take care of the bird yourself, you can contact state or national wildlife organizations for help.

2. 

   Keep bird in cage or container. Make sure the bird cannot get out of the cage or injure himself. Bird cages should be spacious, warm and not threatened by predators.
   • Line the bird cage with soft cushion. Make sure to place the cage in a warm and quiet place.
   • DO NOT put the water bowl in the bird cage.The food has provided the baby bird with enough water, so adding a bowl of water to the cage can drown the bird.

3. 

   Identify birds. Before taking care of the bird, you need to find out what species it belongs to and what it takes to survive. Different birds have different diets, so it's important to find out what foods the bird eats before feeding it. Be aware that feeding the bird the wrong foods can make it sick.
   • If you can't see what the bird belongs to, you can consult a book about the types of birds you live in.
   • Do an online search to learn about birds and how to care for them.

4. 

   Determine the type of bird food. It is extremely important to give the bird the right kind of food. Some birds feed mainly on fruits and insects, others may only need bran. Choosing the right food depends a lot on the type and age of the bird.
   • Once you've determined what species of birds are, note that raptors can eat bird bran with earthworms, and fruit-eating birds can eat finely ground bird bran with fresh fruits, such as blueberries. , mulberries, and raspberries
   • Most pet stores sell the bran to baby birds.

5. 

   Feed the bird. Once you find the right food for you, use a small spoon, or cut the end of the straw into a spoon shape and gently feed the bird. You can use a syringe instead of a spoon, but pump only a small amount of food so the bird can swallow it easily.
   • Bird feeding is a big responsibility. You will need to feed the bird regularly, even at night. In some places, you even need to get permission from the local authority to raise wild birds.
   • Remember that bird and pet stores can help you find wildlife care staff and learn how to feed birds.
   • You can gently massage the bird's throat to aid in swallowing food and to help keep the bird warm.
   • Do not force the bird to eat. Forcing the bird to eat can cause the bird to peck at you and lead to overeating. You should only force-feed the bird when the bird is clear and unfamiliar with getting food from you.
   • Without trying to open the bird's mouth, it can peck you. If it is necessary to get the bird to open its mouth, wear thin gloves to avoid damaging the skin.

6. 

   Prepare to release the bird to the wild. You should keep the bird as quickly as possible if you intend to return it to the wild. When a bird gets to know you, or sees you as a fellow, it will not be afraid of humans and cannot survive in the wild. advertisement

Advice

• Seek advice from local or national bird conservation organizations if you need help.
• Do not allow the baby bird to drink water. Water can get into the lungs and cause the bird to choke. Young birds have absorbed the necessary amount of water from the food. If you are a bird, you can give the bird a few drops by dripping water from the tip of the syringe in front of the bird. The bird will peck a drop of water and drink it.

Warning

• Wash your hands before and after you touch the bird.
• Do not let your pet get close to the bird. If you have a cat in your home, you need to hang the birdcage overhead so the cat won't reach it.
