Sparrow Rescue: Growth & Development Chart

- This animal rescue film documents the growth and development of a House Sparrow from Day 1 of its life, to Day 92. Found helpless and alone in a flower pot, with no nest nearby, and no parent birds tending to it, this newly-hatched bird was calling for food for hours, and we finally had to intervene to save its life.
We named him Sammy the Sparrow, and this new video more clearly shows his development over the first 90 days of his life.

My baby is 9 days today. I feed him every hour and he sleeps from 10pm to 8am thank GOD. I hope he lives so I can release him. I prefer raising dogs not birds but here I am.
Very cute little bird
Here in Australia, sparrows are considered pests. When I found a baby that I was unable to return to the nest, I rang around all over the place and they told me just to leave it and let it die. Thank goodness for videos like yours that give instructions. I raised a beautiful, healthy bird who is now in the wild and it was one of the most joyous experiences of my life! 🥰
You are an angel ❤
@@wendyk6875 Thanks. I was just taking care of one of God’s beautiful creatures.

Hey! May I ask you what did you feed him? I found one week old sparrow baby that was fallen from the nest and I am trying my best to save him. I am learning from the videos but I would love to hear from you too! Thanks🤍
@@MyWildintrusivethoughts Hi! This may sound weird, but I fed him with softened cat grits/dry food that I soaked in some filtered water. He loved it! It was suggested on a few videos I watched because it gives a baby bird enough protein needed for growth. Be careful though, you don’t want it to be really water logged and sloppy, just quite soft so he can swallow it. A baby bird can ‘drown’ on water! I started out using a dropper but it was very awkward for me, so I transitioned to a pair of tweezers with a rubberised end (not a sharp end). I fed him every 40 mins from dawn until just past dusk and played a video of a mother sparrow feeding her young so he would know it was feeding time and also feel less alone. Then I started to also make a sort of chirping sound with my mouth at feeding time and gave him a name, which I would call softly at feeding time. This proved useful when he was older and started flying around so I could then call him back to me at feeding times and he would know my voice. Baby birds cannot produce their own warmth, so you need to keep him warm somehow in a simulated nest environment. If you have any other questions, don’t hesitate to ask. 😊
Love this! We have a common startling for 3 months now-pecked her way through the ceiling of 'this old house' now taught her to say PERFECT(Her name) and PRETTY BIRD! It was January and freezing cold here-now we gotta let her go-I will be crushed😢😢😡
Great job!!!! Video
Thanks❤

You know what you are doing and that matters .Most do not but want to help and also think it's cute .It's a life and needs expert handling
Also the rehabbers I know never talk to them as they say it makes a bird more inclined to be dependent .Bets tip put baby back in a nest .Chances are mum is watching :)👍
hello my friend i found one in the street while going grocery. as i look on your pic i think its around 10 days. i bring it home. how do i properly feed it? theres no rehab here in my place.. thank u ♥️
I found a baby bird yesterday, i think it's 3 day old. Dad told to throw it away bc it'll just die anyway but i rathered raise it
I put hot compress underneath it's bedding to help it keep warm as what i read 😅
I didn't have any baby bird formula or pets formula so I will feed it chicken and some mushed egg

Saved a baby from my dog. Now I'm emotionally invested. I tried to put it back in the nest the other little ones came out and he couldn't get in...So...Called a rehabber but haven't heard back yet. I guess I'm keeping him if I don't get a call back. Or find one who'll take a sparrow. The birds family is outside so maybe he can still learn to bird 🤷♀️
I have a nest and 4 baby birds in it. I don't know what kind of birds they are because I am new to this area and have never seen these birds before. My question is how long after they hatch do you think the babies will fly off and never come back to the nest? The nest is so cleverly designed. It is in a terracotta pot in my gardening shed, there it's safe from predators and the weather. I really need to get into the shed for my garden supplies. I haven't been in there since I discovered the nest. thank you for any help you can give me. 🐦💜

How are they doing?
How to feed this child ??
Today is the 6th day of my baby sparrow his wings are black but not completely out like you showed it should be on day 6 so I'm a little worried about what i should feed and how many times a day
How is it doing?
@@sofiatilton5242 he died 🤧
@@sofiatilton5242 i tried everything i could to feed him he was completely wingless and very little and also he fell from a height i think that's why he died 😭😭
@@rukhsarjkhan7853 that's sad! but at least you did your best to make it survive 😉
@@rukhsarjkhan7853but if you we're to find one again and raise it new baby birds needs to eat every 15-30 mins (they opens their mouth when they're hungry!)
My mom and I found a baby sparrow, I don't know anything about birds but I estimate it's age between 11 and 16 days. We've been taking care if it since yesterday but we don't know what to do with it, anyone has an idea ?
I read online that you had to put it back in the best but we found it in the middle of the road and there weren't any trees in the area, we don't know where it came from...
In same situation now how did this go for you
Picked up a sparrow yesterday that may be around 20 days old. He fainted and fell because of the high temperature at the time. He wouldn't take the initiative to eat. Now I can only force-feed liquid food with a syringe.
Did the baby make it?
That sparrow had imprinted on humans .
It did not survive in the wild
Idiots 😢
At least it lived for days
@@ItwasLucyour sparrow was called Lucy , my ex girlfriend got bored after a year and let her go , I was upset
Some "imprinted" birds can survive in the wild if released correctly. They learn to be birds, similarly as how they got imprinted (learned to be humans) too, if they knew their bird parents. I received a 1 year canary that was flying behind me like a baby after a few weeks. This bird was raised by its mother and had been living with her for a full year. Thus, this theory about the imprint preventing the bird release sounds to me a bit doubtfull. Most birds just need to be exposed to birds, as they were to humans, in order to be released, so that they learn they are birds, as they learned to adapt to humans. It takes time and patience, but it is doable. A different story can be a bird born in cautivity. Nevertheless, I saw videos of the last showing instincts and getting socialized with birds too. The genetic memory is quite impressive. I have found a dying sparrow (she should have been about 9 days old when I found her), and now (she should be about 1 month old) she surprised me building nests with paper I gave her as a toy. She nearly broke my laptop screen hunting my pointer. I didn't teach her any of these. She can fly and eat on her own, I am adapting her to the wild again, she is flying outside to high heights/trees, and I am searching for sparrow colonies in the whereabouts. She is extemely happy hearing sparrows singing, and she just need a sparrow that accepts her. That is what has to be found. It takes time and effort, not as easy as just freeing the bird one single day, but it is doable.
@@carricanta2002 Thank you so much for pointing this out. Old thinking is that imprinting is irreversible, and so many, even ornithologists, repeat that. But there are studies that show it is reversible. AND the more social the species is, such as house sparrows, doves and pigeons, the more likely the imprint is to reverse!
I am not even sure they are actually "imprinted". The canary I had was behaving like a dog with me, after being one year with and being raised by its mother, I'd say it was "tamed" and trusted me. This sparrow I have now does not recognize me sometimes, depending of hairdo and color of cloths, it is kind of wary, although it wants to be on my neck most of the time. It wants my body heat and my food, feels save with me, but today it saw a sparrow and flew inmediately behind it (then it returned back, as the sparrow ignored her). The challenge is to find a sparrow or colony that integrates her. I am not sure it is really "imprinted" despite of the shown dependence and attachment to me.
