Please help!

Question
We found a baby bird on the ground and it either got attacked or dragged out of it's nest or dieing of heat! My mom had already touched it so it won't be adoppted. We don't know what to feed it we don't know what to do with it, please answer right away!

Answer
Actually, pet stores offer hand feeding formulas for baby birds. It's not easy to hand raise a bird but it can be done. There is A LOT of information I could give you but to save space, go to this website http://www.finchniche.com/a-handfeeding.php There are pictures to show how to set up a brooder and information on exactly how to feed a baby bird.
You will need to watch the temperature of the brooder carefully. The temperature changes depending on how old the baby is.
Newly hatched: 33.3-34.4C (92-94F)
Older but still unfeathered: 33.3-34.4C (92-94F)
Pin feathers present: 29.4-32.2C (85-90F)
Fully feathered: 23.9-26.7C (75-80F)
Weaned: room temperature

Just a note, you don't need to purchase the items shown on the website. A syringe (with no needle)bought at a grocery store and properly sterilized will do the job just as well. Also, a tip on feeding baby birds, DO NOT shove the syringe tip down the baby's throat no matter how hard it tries to get it down. This can tear the baby's throat and cause it to bleed to death or you will give the baby too much and the baby will suffocate. The best method is to put some in the babies mouth and GENTLY close it's mouth if it doesn't start to swallow the food right away; this will help you better judge how much to feed the infant. You will also need a syringe of water ready. Babies sometimes have trouble swallowing the food so a drop of water is sometimes necessary. For this, the smallest syringe you can find is the best.
Please be sure to sterilize EVERYTHING that will be handling the baby's food. It is very easy for infants to get sick and die. The best way to prevent this is to make sure that nothing contaminated goes anywhere near the baby; this includes your hands. Disposable non-powder latex gloves will work well. Another thing to be careful of is that baby birds are EXTREMELY fragile. A human can easily kill a baby by holding it too tight or accidentally dropping it while standing up. Handle this fragile little thing with care and if you are unsure, wait until you are, it's best to let the baby go a little hungry than kill it. Remember, the thing in your hands breaks easier than glass.

If it's any consolation, your mom touching the baby had nothing to do with it being abandoned. Birds will often abandon babies that fall out of nest. This is best course of action you could have taken.
