Once again, I am caring for a baby bird.
I went outside and saw a dove sitting on the ground with 2 babies that apparantly fell out of their nest.
I have a golden retriever that loves to eat baby birds, so I had to move them into a tree.
When I went back to check on them, one was gone (the one was strong and could fly a bit), the other was huddled, shivering in the pouring rain, and no sign of mama.
I currently have it in a giant reptile tank I used to have, on shredded newspaper, with a torn up sweater of mine for warmth, and a heat rock (covered in a towel, so it isn't too hot for it)
I bought some bird hand-raising formula at the pet store, and have syringes and eyedroppers to feed it. I managed to get a little bit in its mouth, but it's so small, I can't wedge the dropper into his mouth very well
Anything else I could/should do?
