Sparrows death
Hi, New to this. I found an undeveloped sparrow on the ground, which I now think was rejected from the nest by the parents. He had no feathers, was tiny and fighting for its life. I took it in and put it in a box and fed it mashed up pea protein and egg yolks. Next day I found the nest, and there were two much more developed fledglings, each gaping away. I put the tiny fella in with his siblings, and shockingly, after having put up such a fight to live, died there in a few minutes. I had seen a dead sparrow on my steps and thought maybe this is the parent, so I felt I should feed the other two until I see a parent. I fed them two times only. Second time with cooked egg yolk, which I crumbled into their mouths; it was moist and not hard. Next day, I saw one dead sparrow on ground and shockingly another dead one in the nest. I fear I did something to cause this and feel very guilty. I researched on the internet how to feed them, so I thought I was helping them. Once I saw parent bird I stopped, as I knew they would be fed. What did I do wrong? I only wanted them to live and be safe. I am deeply troubled by this.
