my friend meagan and i were walking down the street and there was a baby bird that couldnt fly
we took it home and its in a hamster cage (no tunnles) so we were wondering what we should do with it
like what to feed it
what to name it
wheather we should keep it at all

Roast it on a spit.  Maybe a little garlic to taste.

i think you should take it back to where you found it and see if the mom bird comes back

No I wouldn't keep it

You idiot, you never move a wild animal!  Just becuz it looked like it was hurt doesn't mean you should have taken it

how big is it? if it's almost an adult then feed it seeds, if it's a baby then feed it liquid baby bird food w/ an eyedropper or spoon...here's some bird recipes...

i think thats an awful idea

I would call a local animal shelter and a vet. See what they think. The mom will most likely not take it back not that it has been touched

you should take the bird to the nearest  vet...it's in the best interest for the poor bird :/
