What Kind of Baby Bird Do You Think This Was? #babybird #hatchling #bird #nestling #peeper #chick
7Thank you for watching @VloggerBurgers. We're trying to figure out what kind of bird this was. I'm guessing it was a Blue Jay because it has the bluish colors, but I don't know. Typically, we have Robins and Blue Jays in the area. I don't think this is a Robin and it we found it on our back deck here this morning. It looks like it's too young to fly, so I'm guessing that maybe a Crow or a Hawk or some kind of Predator might have tried to steal it and perhaps the mother fought it off and that's why it got dropped here on the back deck. Anyways, if you do know what kind of baby bird this was, please write it in the comments below and please Like and SUBSCRIBE this nature video and SUBSCRIBE to @VloggerBurgers to watch more of our interesting videos about animals and nature and all the sports activities that the kids do. Thank you for watching.
A hatchling is a bird who has just emerged from the egg–he's just hatched! He may not have his eyes open yet and may be covered in nothing more than a little down. A hatchling is no more than a few days old. Nestling: After the first few days, the hatchling becomes a nestling.
Most of the baby birds people find are fledglings. These are young birds that have just left the nest, and can’t fly yet, but are still under the care of their parents, and do not need our help. Fledglings are feathered and capable of hopping or flitting, with toes that can tightly grip your finger or a twig. These youngsters are generally adorable and fluffy, with a tiny stub of a tail.
When fledglings leave their nest they rarely return, so even if you see the nest it’s not a good idea to put the bird back in—it will hop right back out. Usually there is no reason to intervene at all beyond putting the bird on a nearby perch out of harm’s way and keeping pets indoors. The parents may be attending to four or five young scattered in different directions, but they will return to care for the one you have found. You can watch from a distance to make sure the parents are returning to care for the fledgling.
If the baby bird is sparsely feathered and not capable of hopping, walking, flitting, or gripping tightly to your finger, it’s a nestling. If so, the nest is almost certainly nearby. If you can find the nest (it may be well hidden), put the bird back as quickly as possible. Don’t worry—parent birds do not recognize their young by smell. They will not abandon a baby if it has been touched by humans. If the nest has been destroyed you can make a new one, place the chick back inside and watch to see if the parents come back.
If you have found both parents dead, the young bird is injured, you can’t find the nest, or are absolutely certain that the bird was orphaned, then your best course of action is to bring it to a wildlife rehabilitator. You can find one by doing a Google search for your state and “wildlife rehabilitation.” The Humane Society of the United States also has a page to help you locate a wildlife rehabilitator in your state. A sick, injured or orphaned baby bird may need emergency care until you can get it to a wildlife rehabilitator.
Bottom line: remember that the vast majority of “abandoned” baby birds are perfectly healthy fledglings whose parents are nearby and watching out for them.
If you find a baby bird, it likely does not need your help unless it is featherless or has its eyes closed. These birds are nestlings and aren’t ready to leave the nest yet. If you can locate the nest nearby, the best thing to do is simply place the nestling back in the nest. If you cannot locate the nest, leave the nestling where you found it or move it to a shaded area. The parents will come back. Don’t worry, your scent won’t deter the parents.
As birds get bigger, they outgrow the nest and need room to move around, flap their wings and learn to fly. These more developed birds are fledglings and they can easily be identified by their more developed feathers. They can hop and flutter on their own. Fledglings don’t need help – their parents are nearby and still caring for them. Be sure to give them plenty of space.
