How To Feed Baby Finches In The Bowl?īaby finches after two weeks of their age can easily feed on themselves.

One more thing, do not forget to wash the apparatus that you use for feeding the baby finch.

So clean them well with warm water and a soft cloth gently. It is because the food is in liquid form, and it dries off with time. And if the food is left on their beak, they will face difficulty opening their beak. Because if the food is left on the body, germs can attack them and get them ill.

After feeding food, make sure you clean them and their beak also.

Use a syringe or an eyedropper to feed baby finches.

Hold them firmly yet gently by their wings with both hands.

We've no Aviary vets here, and the Humane Society (I've found) really isn't all that 'humane' in dealing with tiny lives that are difficult to care for. I'd love for him/her/it (whatever) to survive, but I honestly don't have a clue as to what I'm doing. He's(?) really quite bold and doesn't seem VERY afraid of me at all. He's still his pin feathers and no 'adult' tail feathers to speak of, so all It's attempts at liberation have involved pecking at the sides of the plastic wash-tub, and a whole lot of fluttering straight up. There was an overture at 'begging' a little earlier last night, but for the most part the little fella' seems more intent on making good his escape. I've raised European Starlings, baby Grackles and even an injured Barn owl.īut this is the first time I've ever even attempted to save a little peebler like my new Finchy mate. I found my bird when she was way too young to survive and her nest and siblings had been torn to shreds by something so it was either take her in or leave her to die. Birka Birka(based on the sound she makes in the early morning and at sunset.) I have many names for her, my favorites being WormSlayer and Mrs. If she doesn't end up adapting then she can always come back and live with me :D. It is going to break my heart to see her go, but I want her to at least be given the chance, she deserves the skies and a mate. I have kept close tabs on her weight and what not and even though she eats like a pig she is perfect weight :). After she grew up some I started feeding her basically anything I eat, just without all the seasoning, she loves it all :). I will also decrease her food slowly so she'll be forced to hunt(she's a meat eater). I guess since I have certain whistles that she comes too I will be able to keep tabs on her and bring her back inside at night and during storms for at least the first couple weeks.

I am going to slowly try and adapt her to the outdoors.

She is still young but definitely ready to go now. because I don't have the heart to cage her. I have raised quite a few animals in my life from rabbits and squirrels to birds and she is spoiled rotten. I know it is illegal to raise wild birds (though this is stupid since all birds are wild and the ones that are legal just come from other countries.īut none of the 4 wildlife rehabbers I called would take her :(.
