I've had 4 baby birds on my stoop this spring. 3 had no feathers. One had the beginnings of feathers. When I was young and found one I would put it in a box and feed it wonder bread dipped in water with a tweezer. My instincts were to do the same this year but research told me otherwise. It said put the bird back in the nest. I did to only find it on the stoop the next day dead. After trying it with the first 2 birds and not succeeding I gave up on the next two. Just left them there until their death. Maybe the wonder bread thing would have been best after all. The birds when I was young would live at least a week or three.
