Question
i live in florida and this is the first time i have a baby bird. its small feathers are blue and gray ish i need to now how often and what to feed it till i can realease it or give it to a speshal place
You need to contact a local wildlife rehab center or wildlife official for help and advice. If you have no experience with this, you will find it is VERY DIFFICULT to successfully raise a baby bird. Do not try to do this yourself. Since I don't know what kind of bird it is I can't give you any specific advice. Go to www.ornithology.com/rehab.html for advice for now but as soon as possible contact wildlife rehab or a nature center or someone who can help.
