I've saved a few babies if they had feathers. Sometimes with an eyedropper, sometimes with the corner of a cloth that I could let drip into their beak. We found one last spring with only a couple feathers - too young to leave while I went to work. A friend I work with raises chickens, turkeys and other assorted farm fowl took "him" and gave him what she gives baby chicks. We had named him Rupert and I'm glad to report that Rupert is all grown, tame (he's a Morning Dove) and has a new best friend - a tame white pigeon. Did you check with an ER vet about what to feed him? I've used bread and milk for older babies, but tiny ones need a bird formula. Maybe the same kind used for hand-raised pet birds. Good luck.
