tiny wild bird hand rearing? (1 Viewer)

I found on the ground one 1-2-3 days old alive among some dead.

Please see attached, is it Bluetit with yellow belly feathers?

It seems to keep the food in a bag & then it emptys it

It was 3 days ago Mon 23 May & have been keeping it warm & feeding it every 2 hrs (at night only once 04:00 when I wake up) with watery poridge & earth worms cut in pieces.

1. Do I need live mealworms?, where to get them?

2. What other food recomended?

3. I asked first RSPCA who said:- The best, quickest and kindest thing you can do for the bird is to take it to a wildlife centre or animal establishment. This is the fastest way of relieving the animals suffering.

4. The nearest is too far to go.

5. How long can I keep this up I d'nt know. ....Thanx ........bea
