Did you find a wounded sparrow chick in your country house? Or at the last moment snatched from the mouth of a cat? In this case, it is a pity to release a chick and I want to cure it, but it needs some care. Let's try together to figure out how to care for sparrow chicks.
First of all, you need to know some information about sparrows. Read various articles and see how a sparrow chick lives in nature. The photo will help to see their habitat. Children often ask their parents how many chicks a sparrow can have and what they need to be fed. The number of eggs depends on the type of bird. For example, in the clutch of a house sparrow, their number ranges from 2 to 10.
Now let's turn to the issue of feeding sparrows. We denote the main points of this process:
1. A hand-fed chick considers you his flock, so you will have to keep him - he may not survive in nature.
2. It is strictly forbidden to feed the chicks with bread!
3. If you give cottage cheese to a sparrow, then it must be washed with boiling water three times. Its fat content should be minimal - ideally 0%.
Sparrow chicks are more likely to survive in a real environment than in your home. If you find a bird onstreet, it is better to transplant it to some hill (fence, bush, barn, etc.). But if you still decide to feed the chick yourself, you need to read the article to the end.
You need to follow this "child" like your own, or even more carefully. Caring for a young sparrow will take 15-20 minutes of your time every hour. You need to feed the chick until saturation. Sparrows have a very high metabolism, which means that they should not be left without food for more than three hours. Sparrow droppings must be removed immediately. Its appearance is an indicator of proper nutrition.
In nature, sparrow chicks feed on insects, so you can also bring such food to the chick. Feed them fly larvae, ant cocoons. You can also give the birds chopped chicken eggs, cottage cheese and even carrots. Naturally, birds need vitamin and mineral supplements. You can grow a chick on living cocoons, but not on cottage cheese alone.
You can keep a sparrow in a small box. After the sparrow chicks grow up and start trying to fly out of such a "nest", you need to place the bird in a small cage with soft and dry bedding (you can take dry crushed grass or moss). At the age of 4-5 days, young sparrows need warmth. It is most convenient to feed the chicks with tweezers. If the chick does not open its mouth, then a light click on the beak or shaking the litter may help. In extreme cases, you will have to open the beak by force. From 15 days of age, teach the chick to eat on its own. Scatter food around the cage. When the chick starts to pick up food from the floor, get him a feeder. Over time, you will need a wide cage so that the bird can fly. Do not forget to water the chick: put a pipette to the tip of his beak. The water must be boiled. Milk and other drinks are not allowed.
Consider the composition of one mixture that can be prepared as food for a young sparrow: grate carrots on a fine grater, squeeze out all the juice. Hard boil the egg and repeat the previous steps (except for squeezing). Add meat to the mixture. Use boiled chicken breast. Grind it with a knife, dividing it into fibers. Do the same with lettuce or dandelion leaves (about a tablespoon). Now take 100 g of low-fat cottage cheese, squeeze out the liquid from it. Next, add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of millet porridge (without s alt and oil). Add a teaspoon of ground dry daphnia or gammarus, calcium glycerophosphate (1 tablet per liter of the finished mixture). Crush the eggshell (0.5 teaspoon). Now mix everything and let it brew. Then make small balls out of the resulting mixture and start feeding your pet.
Now you know that sparrow chicks can survive at home. It remains for us to wish you good luck in such a difficult task as growing a sparrow chick.
