0-3 Day Old Young Bird
After school today my friends found a baby bird so I rushed over to see it. When I found it I looked everywhere for its nest, but I couldn't find it anywhere. So I called my mom over to come help me take it home. We carefully toke it home and placed it in a basket (large enough for it to move) with cotton balls. We called the an animal place but none of them could come because they were closed. So we quickly gave it worms and water and now its sleeping. Mon@rch or anyone please tell me what to do with it, I don't know what to do?

What a sad situation for this little bird. Hope someone can help you.
This is a very young bird and for sure avoid the water . . . they will get the water from the food they eat (I would hate to see the bird drown from forcing water)! They need to eat very often (like every 20 minutes or less) and actually you need the worms/bugs crushed up so that the bird can digest the food. Legally you need to have a rehabilitation license to keep the bird or to raise a wild bird. I would try and spend some more time looking for the nest that the bird came from and return it to its family! Sad but many times the birds siblings will kick its brother out of the nest so that it can get more food! It is also possible that a cowbird chick kicked it out! That is a very tough aged chick to be working with bud!
