Sorry should also have added if you mix a little water with the Prosecto food and roll it into little mouth sized balls its easier to feed!

We have a young blue tit that had been handed in today, I've got my VN journal at home and know that the latest issue has an article in on rearing birds, can anyone remind me on how often to feed? Also what recommended feed for insect/seed eaters.

Thanks in advance.

Oooh exciting, I done this a few years ago for a few days until we could find a place to take them. I fed them a/d via syringe, they loved it. Here they are waiting to get fed.

Found two heres the link to the recipe from the book, to think i used to remember it of by heart!!

http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=TNnf6FbDWZ8C&pg=PA189&lpg=PA189&dq=st+tiggywinkles,+bird+glop&source=bl&ots=jH036sr-_J&sig=96HZSe2xsmCA3vLc3e0bO59sqO0&hl=en&ei=y6MeSuPfPJmUjAfo7oyLDQ&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1#PPA189,M1

If that doesn't work go to www.sttiggywinkes.org.uk there is a fledgling bird fact sheet listed under the education link.
