Dear Dr Chan,
As per request these are the photos taken yesterday. The 1st 4 photos was taken in the noon and you can see it actually still able to move it’s head, body and chirp. I’ve tried different foods like bread,biscuits, rice, and oats. However it starts getting weaker and weaker, I wonder is the food that I fed not enough with nutrients or protein for it. From the last 3 photos are taken during at night and you can see its getting even weaker. Yet my mum says its body seems to be bloating but fyi its already looks like that when I found it.Unfortunatelythis morning I get up, its not moving anymore.

Anyway I’m very grateful of your and all the warm-hearted readers’ help. Many thanks to all of you and condolences to the baby bird. I’llburiedit in the backyard.

















We wish the baby bird a pleasant journey to its next destination.

Fly free, and fly high now.

I’m sure Zhe Han did his very best for the bird.

And information and offer of help came in this morning, from Joey Quah. It may come in useful should we be faced with a similar situation next time:

Featherless babies are extremely fragile. Without heat, they die easily.

I dont have anymore baby bird food but have pellets for parrots which can be grinded and soaked with warm water. Do not make the food too watery. The little baby will cry for food and bob his head regularly about every 20 minutes . Use a chopstick to “scoop” the food to feed to the baby. The baby bulbul I picked up 6 years ago managed to survive with the soaked pellets but he was extremely lucky and already feathered at that time.

If the person who found the little baby is not comfortable to take care of it, I can try. But most importantly to keep the little baby warm at all times. The cold of the night might kill the little baby. 1 easy way is to line a small container or a small aquarium (guppy sized) with lots of tissue paper. Cover the top of the container (at least 1/2 or 3/4) to keep the baby warm. No cold breeze at all cost.

Do hope the little baby bird is ok.

Regards,

joey

Thank you very much for your kind offer to help, Joey.

The baby bird has moved on now….to a better place.
