Red Cardinal Baby Chick Help

Bring it to an animal hospital or wildlife center.. they will take care of it

go find an organic, or meat based small chunk cat food. These will be high enough in protien to help that little bird.

one piece of cat food + enough water to make it mushy and feed it with an eye dropper.

I did this for months. Fed a blue jay baby I loved it.

after a little while, when the bird gets bigger , you can start on seeds and millets...

call an animal rehab if you want to maximize the peeps chances for survival.

yes and no. depending on where you are, they may not take what they consider " common animals" sadly.

but i agree. Find a place for it first if you can

I once had some saw whet owlings that must have had their nest dumped. We found a wildlife rehab center not too far away. Little owls are really ugly little bastards. Youd have dreams about owl chicks,

I raised lots of wild birds. Mostly I dug grubs and worms for them. By and large, they are hardy little critters, obviously they need heat without a ma & pas body.

Some returned the next year and were almost as friendly with me as when they left.

I've raised a couple orphans with cream of wheat in a squeeze bottle. It's probably not technically correct, but it works. I got a blue jay successfully fledged and 2 pigeons also that way.
