what to feed a baby sparrow

If you find a baby sparrow that needs to be fed, there are several ways to feed it. One option is to soak a cup of pet food in water to soften it, then mix in applesauce and a hard-boiled egg. Another option is to use a mixture of soaked dog or cat food, crushed calcium carbonate tablets, and avian vitamins. Its important to feed the sparrow frequently, about every 20 minutes for 12 hours. When feeding the sparrow, place the food on the bottom part of its beak and let it swallow the food whole. Be cautious when feeding the sparrow, as it can choke if given too much food or if the utensil is pushed too far into its mouth. After about 4 weeks, you can begin leaving a bowl of food with the sparrow, as it will be able to feed itself at this point. Its important to note that if you find a baby sparrow on the ground, it may not need your assistance. If it has feathers, it may be a fledgling learning to fly, and if it doesnt have feathers, you can try to return it to its nest or provide it with a proper diet.
