My dad and I found a little baby bird outside, it barely has any feathers and i think its back is scratched. I don't want to leave it outside, we have 106 degree weather here and some cats. We've checked every bush and tree outside and we still cannot find a nest. How can i help it? (feeding, making a little nest, etc.?) thanks.

You won't care for it. You should take it to a special wild animal care facility immediately. It will die in your hands.

[not sure]

put it back but touch it as little as possibleor turn it in

ok, I just got finished taking care of baby birds! So I think I can help. Go to petsmart, buy baby bird formula, make sure you keep the bird warm. the bird needs to be fed like every 2 hours. I made the horrible mistake one time of forgeting to feed them at night, i never woke up! Therefore you need to feed them, DAY AND NIGHT. If you cannot do this because of school, call yor local wildlife rehabilitator, they will take the baby in and give it ALL the care and attention it needs.

My wife and I have found countless baby birds in our yard. We contacted the local Audubon Society and they told us to leave them alone. When we asked why, we were told that many bird parents observe their young to see how they will handle things before they come to help them. Of over 2 dozen babies we found, only one died and thats because it drowned in our fishpond.I suggest leaving it alone and let nature be nature.

Make a little nest of blankets and wood shavings and put him in it. Then place a heat lamp about three and a half feet away from the nest and turn it so he has enough warmth. The only way to feed him is to put worms in your blender, and whip em' up into a nice gloppy mess. (Yum!) Then get an eyedropper and feed him the goo. At night, place some woodchips over him so he doesn't get cold and remember to keep the heat lamp on all night. Depending on how old he is, you'll have to keep him a week and a half to six weeks before he is ready to leave and fly away. Teaching it how to fly could be a problem.

As others say, the best thing is to call your local ASPCA or bird rescue group if you know of one. they can assess the situation and do the right thing.
