Found a recipee on another board. It said to put 1 egg 12 worms and some shelled sunflower seeds and water in MY BLENDER ewwww. Then blend till watery consistency. Gonna give it a shot. Never had one survive yet. And pet store didn't have any of that mix that was suggested here. He just starting to get his colourful feathers so I have no clue how old he is.

I found a baby bird that I think was a mockingbird based on what I could find online. I called a number I found online for assistance in caring for a nestling, but no one ever called me back. The great state of Alabama at it's best. I fed and cared for the bird for 3 and a half days before it died. It was getting stronger and doing very well -- flappy it's wings around and squawking. I was feeding it worms with a tweezer (thanks, Barney) and water from a straw. For some stupid reason, I put the worms in the refrigerator and when I fed the bird for the last time, the worms were cold. I think that is what killed it. The bird had eaten one entire container of fishing worms and was working on it's second container. Sigh. At least I tried. Yep….
