I have raised lots and lots of baby birds, generally a few every season. Some indeed die, usually if they are injured, get too cold, or have been without food too long. But, as a rule, they are not that hard. It just takes practice and patience.Originally Posted by kimlovescats

I feed them dry cat food soaked in water. Later I teach the insectivores to catch and eat crickets. I have raised sparrows, robins, starlings, grackles and pigeons.
Most of them release just fine. But once in a while I end up with one like little Willie here, who is as tame as a puppy, despite my best efforts to keep him wild.

Update - We released Willie this morning. I planned to let him go in one of my customer's front yard (with her permission of course!). It's an amazing yard, full of pine and apple trees and a lot of other sparrows. However, he must not have been as timid or tame as I thought, because he squeezed out of my hand and flew across the street into a tree as soon as I took him out of the cage.
Hopefully he will enjoy his freedom and be ok. Good luck, Willie!
