Need help with this baby bird (i think its a cuckoo)Hi All,
I found this baby bird near a tree on a busy road. It was not able to fly and I could not see any other parent bird around. It was trying to jump and get into the road, so I had to pick it up and now its with me at home. I think this is a baby cuckoo (koel).. am I right ? The bird looks terribly tired and was not even keeping its eyes open for a long time it was just dozing off in my hands. I took it the vet clinic and they dint find any problems with this bird, except that it is a young one and needs rest and food. If this is a cuckoo (koel), does anyone know what food can be feed to this baby? I am keeping this bird warm. Tried feeding it Luke warm water mixed with honey, it drank it (approximately 20 ml), but soon I noticed it started pooping. It was very very watery, may be since it might not have eaten any solids?I need your help since I don't any prior experience in handling such young babies. I am worried I might loose it please let me what should I feed it, how do I take of it.Last edited by spdevanand; 18th October 2009 at 04:42 AM. |
