Question Baby Mockingbird Found - HELP

My friend and I recently recovered a baby mockingbird. He had a deformed Beak (gnarled and lower jaw moved to one side slightly) and can't fly. Although not a complete hatchling, this bird cannot yet fly.

We have NO idea what to do, and all the humane societies/animal centers are closed/disconnected numbers/don't take birds.

Help?

When my daughter found a baby pipstrielle bat we contacted the local wildlife park who took it in and looked after it.

We don't have a wildlife park too near here, but I can't imagine there's one to far out...

Is it big enough for a sandwich?

If you don't mind the long distance charges, call B.E.A.K.S., in Jax. Fl.

They should be able to give you some suggestions about what to feed it. The number is: 904-251-2473.

Also, is there a zoo near you? Sometimes they'll take in such cases. For now, if you can get some worms, or crickets, try that.

Good luck!

Seriously though, even if you can't get it there straight away, give them a ring as they'll be able to give you some advice!

You're welcome. Let us know how it works out.

And, do try B.E.A.K.S., they are a great group who help care for injured birds, mainly wild seashore ones, but will help with any feathered friend.
