About 50 minutes ago my MIL called me outside to come save this baby bird that she saw her puppy trying to eat it I assume.. I believe it’s a baby song bird. I checked the bird and it has no visible open injuries. The bird must be newly hatched as its eyes do not open and it still has pin feathers. In the area I stay at in Louisiana has no wildlife rehabilitation nearby and the vets that I called don’t take in wild birds. The closest one is 3 and 1/2 hours away. The best is out of reach even with a ladder. The bird is alive and alert. It was signaling for food after research I made a paste out of cat food and warm water which I feed a few drops from a syringe… it’s in a box with blankets and a towel which I’m keeping warm with a small heater at a distance that I can control the temperature with..

My mother in law had told me to come get this bird that her dog was trying to eat it was laying on the ground. I believe it may be a song bird. It must be newly hatched as it cannot open its eyes and it looks like it still has pin feathers. As of now I have it in a box with a blanket and a towel and I’m attempting to keep it in warm. The bird is alert and alive. It opens its mouth every now and then while looking up while squirming around. What do I do?
