Line a shoebox with a towel, place the bird on the towel and put the box half on-half off a heating pad set on low. Sometimes the difference between life and death can be minutes. Mash these ingredients well and using a pair of blunt tweezers, grab a glob of the meat mixture and place it in the BACK of the baby's mouth, where it will be much easier for him to swallow. If any food gets on his face, immediately wipe it off with a damp rag or Q-Tip. Food left on the baby's face or body may cause a bacterial infection and damage any growing feathers.
Baby birds eat constantly.
In captivity this is no exception. It is a continuous job from sunup until well after sundown. It's an exhausting schedule, but the rewards of watching the baby return successfully to the air and freedom far outweigh the endless hours of nonstop feeding. It is a feeling that warms my heart. Babies, both bird and mammal, will die from cold before they die from a lack of food.
