Found wild bird Baby Sparrow! ⚠︎

Hiii everybody!! I really need help!

I found a very young baby sparrow on the concrete, lying in direct sunlight. I brought him home because he was barely feathered and seemed way too young to be on his own ( With my mother, we first thought he was dead, then he moved a paw)

I gave him a little water with a pipette, and I soaked some cat kibble in water until it became very soft and diluted because he is so young. This isn't the first time I've rescued a bird, but this time I'm really worried because he is extremely young and has barely any feathers.

My mother has tried contacting animal associations, but unfortunately, no one is answering.

I know that baby sparrows should mainly be fed insects at this age, but there aren't any stores near me that sell them, and I don't know what I can safely give him in the meantime.

I would really appreciate any advice on how to keep him alive and care for him properly until I can find a wildlife rehabilitator. I really want to do the right thing and give this little guy the best chance possible. :(

Thank you so much for any advice ♡

Found wild bird Baby sparrow

Long story short I found a baby sparrow, Humane society nor Salthaven (both places in my city that would take in animals) can take it in and I don’t know what to do. It didn’t fall out of the nest naturally, the nest had gotten destroyed by construction. Its sibling died but one is still alive. Please help I feel guilty to just let it die

my blue budgie and sometimes my green one keep bitting their feet constantly, i’ve given them perches that are real wood and other sizes along with a dowel perch on the bottom of the cage, i’ve been using a vinegar and water solution to clean their perches, google told me that they could possible have bumblefoot and I am just worried, all advice is welcome even if not related to issue

(p.s i know their nails are ridiculously long and i will get them cut as soon as possible as i am inexperienced and no vet is available this week, their pet store budgies so i expected less healthy conditions)

Is my bird hurting himself?

I think he’s (honestly, should I just say ‘she’ at this point?) finally going through his first molt, so he’s been losing a lot of feathers this week, including this wing feather. It looks frayed most everywhere though, and I’m afraid for him. Is he overpreening/underpreening himself? Does anybody know what this means? I’ve tried looking it up, but am not quite certain as to what it’s the victim of. Thanks.
