Baby bird


Just found a baby bird that has just hatched on my driveway. No nest around my house. I have it on a small fuzzy blanket with a heating pad on low under the blanket. I’m not sure what I do now.


Answer:

Hi,

It is is newly hatched, the nest would be just above it. If it has feathers and can hop around, it is a fledgling, and the parents are usually nearby. I’ll give you a link with information on what to do and how to find a wildlife rehabilitator. Continue to keep it warm, and hopefully there is a wildlife center or rehabber who can help.
