| You should really avoid feeding bread, even it has been soaked, unless you've got absolutely nothing else. Unfortunately, milk is not really suitable either as birds are very delicate and need quite specific food with the right levels of fat, protein etc. The crushed dog food is far better and generally suitable for all types of baby birds.
Either way, it's a big job trying to raise a chick and so it may be worth seeing if a neighbour can take over the feeding during the day. |
