How to Feed Baby Grackle Birds
- 1). Place the bird into a small container so that it doesn't fall during feeding and so that it can try to maintain its body heat. Keeping the baby warm and comfortable is essential.
- 2). Put the container (with the bird in it) onto the heating pad, and set the pad to the lowest setting.
- 3). Soak dry dog or cat food in water, mashing it using a spoon. Dog and cat foods are high in protein, and they're also easy to handle. If possible, use a high-quality food.
- 4). Offer the softened food on the end of a plastic spoon. Be careful not to give portions that are very large.
- 5). Repeat the process as often as every 15 minutes during daylight hours. In the wild, grackles do not feed their young after dark.
