Answer
Hi, Lupe Flores.  Thanks for posting.

I would need to know what type of wild bird this is in order to help further.  The bird needs to be kept at about 98 degress F and fed whatever type of food applies for the type of bird this is.  In other words, some wild baby birds need to eat grubs, worms, and these types of foods and others need other things to eat.
