When I called Cornell about feeding baby birds, they told me to soak Purina cat food in warm water and feed it to the babies with a straw. You cut off one side of the straw to sort of make a little scoop. It's soft enough that if you accidentally poke the bird, it doesn't hurt it. The birds did really well and I was able to find a rehab place for them after a couple of weeks.

Some friends report that a Blue Jay nest and a Cedar Waxwing nest came down in their yard during the storm last evening. The waxwings were about to fledge but the jays are less developed. Any advice for feeding or trying to replace the nest in a tree. I think they said the waxwing nest was not in good shape. David Kirschke, Johnson City, TN Sent from Yahoo! Mail on Android
