Question
can you raise a wild blue bird as a pet? what do you have to feed it? can you put it in a cage, do you have to heat it or something? can you tell me how to raise it? it is by my aunts house and please get back soon or it will die. thank you.

Answer
Blue Birds are protected by law and cannot be kept as pets. Call a wildlife rescue place or a veterinarian to come get it or you can take it to them. That way they will care of it until it can fly again. They have the correct food and housing for a bird. The fines for keeping protected birds can be thousands of dollars so don't try to keep it. Someone always manages to find out!
Call them first thing tomorrow.
