I know you aren't supposed to pick up baby birds, however, I found a baby mockingbrd in my back yard, and I have five dogs. This baby had no chance at all. So, now I need to find out how to care for it until it can fly.

Call a local vet or wildlife rescue & rehabilitation office if you're intent on feeding the baby. But, really, most of the time the adult birds will find the baby even when people think the bird's chances are nil. Nature takes care of its own. Yes, sometimes a baby dies. That is why birds lay more than one egg...

There was a baby bird in my front yard and I was worried too about pets eating it or messing with it because the neighbor has cats.:/ well..The momma bird was haning around in the tree but she wasnt feeding it because I set up a video camara facing it through the window(Yes I was really worried I love birds) well I didnt touch it and it stay in the bushes.I bought some of this baby birds powdery stuff from Petsmart and fed it a few times a day but didnt touch it.Then I noticed the momma bird was really watching it more than usual so I set up a video camara again..lol..and she started feeding it and then it flew away...Im glad it was ok... If you want to ask me anything let me know!

granddaughter found baby mockingbird in street...she's feeding it flies, grasshoppers, & crickets. She smuches them up first and feeds the bird w/a pair of tweezers. It is eating EVERYTHING she puts in its mouth. It drinks water from a dropper. should we be doing something else? help
