hi, found a sparrow chick on wednesday, fell out of its nest, im feeding on soaked dog food etc, it seems to be doing very well, but any other tips or information would help. thanks

My main advice would be to find a wildlife rescue who can take the bird as soon as possible. Dog food on its own is fine to keep the bird going short term, but long term it may need a more specialised diet. For it to have the best chance of being returned to the wild successfully it should also be raised with other birds of its species and will need to be released from an aviary in a suitable area.
