BirdRescue.org presents a unique insight into the process of nurturing and releasing wild birds. Includes information on bird health, feeding, raising and release.
A unique insight into the fascinating process of nurturing and releasing birds by Ron Billingsley. "People often ring up and ask me how to feed and look after a fledgling that they have rescued. If it cannot be put back safely where it was found and has to be taken in hand then the following is the method I use, which is basically how the wild parents of these young birds would do it. Not a mystery. No magic touch. Just based on observation and common sense".
