What do you feed a chipping sparrow?

Answer 1

If the sparrow is a baby.then i would suggest feeding it soft mushy foods like baby food(meat baby food) and baby oatmeal and soggy cherios. I am taking care of 3 right now so im hoping when they grow up they start eating seeds and worms!

Answer 2

well you can take dry cat or dog food and put it in water, buy bird vitamins which you can find at any pet store then let it sit for at least a day until all the water has been soaked up by the food. dont let the food sit for too long minimum 3 days!

Answer 3

That depends on its age. They should be eating for themselves at about 3 weeks old and should be eating seed then - soaked for a few hours in water to soften it is best. Suitable seeds - canary, millet, canola (rape), Niger, hemp - anything reasonably small. When they hatch they would be fed either insects and/or green, unripe seeds by their parents. To hand-rear one, you could feed either a commercial canary egg-biscuit (rearing) food, or soaked complete dog ration along with some soaked or cooked small seeds. Change the diet from one to the other as the bird ages.

Answer 4

They can eat seeds, bird food made for finches, and mealworms. People say maggots but first that's disgusting and second, they can eat through your birds stomach.
