I rescued 2 baby birds as well a few weeks ago, and began by soaking hard kitten food in water nd then feeding them with an eyedropper. They did not die while I worked. At night they did not need feeding. Eventually I put them in a cage and they began eating pieces of whiskas from tweezers. Eventually I one day did not feed them..and they quickly learned on heir own. I then took the cage outside to let them catch insects..they grew to be robins. One day I opened the cage door and they are now on their own. However, I now have a pair of baby blue jays I cannot seem to get to eat...I am reserching myself but it seems to say it best to leave them outside in spite of the danger of cats...Good luck...Cathy C
