Crows quite often drop out of the nests. The excessive inquisitiveness or just too strong wind and imprudence of the kid can be the reason for that. Having got on the earth, they become absolutely defenseless and attacks from outside of both big, and small predators are endangered. If there is no opportunity to return crows to a native nest or for some reason the adult bird left the laying, once baby birds help, having brought up them independently.
The resolved products

If the baby bird persistently refuses to accept a forage from hands, and at the same time it is weakened, in order to avoid beak injuries food is put by means of the syringe with a rubber tip. Even if the bird will quietly not sit, will not be put to her damages. It is worth remembering that the forage has to be warm, about temperatures of a human body, that is 36-37os. Besides, it should not be stored long before it in the fridge. It is the best of all to prepare every time new mix.
