My dog tried sneaking past me with a fledgling baby sparrow in her mouth. I got her to put it down. And I brought it inside with me but even though it is fully feathered, only two little pieces of down on its head, and it watches me like a hawk, I can’t get it to eat. I don’t know the exact spot she found it at, but I can’t get close.

I believe the best thing is to get out there early in the morning & put it in a clear grassy area so the parents can see it.

Please advise whether this seems the best plan or not.

Meal worms work. Home Depot in the garden center area or Wilco Farm stores, Tractor supply too. Piece of cardboard box ...no sides But nesting on leaves ,grass clippings and meal worms close by. Keep the puppy inside for an hr or so. Birds chirp EARLY in morning which causes the frequency to awaken the plants. Take a pix an post it. We need to see your blessing :)
Life is better in the garden 😍

I left some crumble mealworms in its little basket. It probably not going to be active again till morning.

Well today is monday... did the little sparrow eat, or mom come and get him?
