I get a lot of emails from the New York Bird Club. But yesterday's moved me to post:
Yesterday,we brought home a baby sparrow that had fallen out of its
nest.It was unconscious and barely breathing so we took it home to give
it a safe place to pass on.

Surprisingly, it made it through the night
and seems to be doing well today. We fed it a few drops of a RX
nutritional supplement called Emeraid that we had fed to our cockatiels
when they were sick.
Does anyone know what to feed a baby sparrow? How
much? How often? We also have some Rx Benebac which is similar to the
acidophilus in yogurt. We gave it to one of our birds after a course of
antibiotics threw her own healthy bacteria out of whack. Thanks for any
information anyone can provide.

There is a wild bird rehab place in Manhattan. My sister brought injured pigeons there and they helped her nurse them back to health. I cant remember the name. I will forward this to her to get the name. You can probably find it on line.
Good Luck
