會阻礙尋找親鳥的機會

  • X 互動不能太多

  • X 不能有眼睛對視

  1. First, make sure the fledgling is not attached to human or in poor health

  2. The fledgling can fly above 1 metre, is vivacious and able to catch up with its parents

  3. Keep the fledgling in a box/cage and observe

  4. There may be many onlooking birds. Wait and see if the birds in sight are its parents.

  5. Let the fledgling practise flapping its wings (LINK


  • Refrain from committing the following mistakes that would prejudice reunion with parents

  • Too much interaction

  • Maintaining eye contact

  • Stroking/cuddling the fledgling

Does the baby bird really need your help?

1. Keep a distance and observe: Observe carefully and figure out if the baby bird needs your help

Don’t pick it up hurriedly! Most probably it is learning to fly, and its parents are nearby and will return within half an hour.
Don’t intervene and kidnap it if it is under the care of its parents.

2. Take it home only under adverse condition. Try to locate the nest and return it to its parents by gently putting it inside after one or two days.

3. If the nest cannot be located, place it in a safe and shaded location, such as a twig. Its parents will be able to locate it by its chirps.

*If the baby bird is injured (bleeding or wounded) or its parents have not returned after a long time, seek help from Kadoorie Farm & Botanic Garden or hand it to persons with experience and knowledge for proper care.

現場有即時危險/確定沒有親鳥照顧,可以這樣保暖
If there is immediate danger around/already confirmed that it was abandoned by its parents,
take the following steps to help it stay warm.

幼鳥吃什麼? What to feed the fledgling?

暫時性的食物:

新鮮木瓜蓉、烚旦黃、新鮮蘋果蓉、新鮮橙、香蕉打成糊

如長養請到照顧幼鳥

Make-do food: freshly mashed papaya, apple and banana, fresh orange and yolk of boiled egg

If it is fatigued/a featherless nestling, don’t feed it with banana/egg yolk/powdered milk because they are hard to digest and may cause death.
