Baby bird help

[Fragglerock10]

Hi mumsnetters need your help
We have found a baby bird. He is an older baby but his wings are not quite developed yet. We think mum has gone scared off by a cat but everything we have tried to put him back near the next a cat goes for him
How do we care for it till it is ready to fly

Do you know what species it is? If you do then that will help with what to feed it and how often to give it food (I used google for advice after rescuing a baby blue tit). I think it’s something like every 15/20 minutes they need food.

Also keep it somewhere very quiet and I learnt that keeping them warm with a hot water bottle under a makeshift nest makes for better chance of survival, especially overnight.

Hope this is helpful:
