I have raised orphaned wild birds for years, making their food myself. (Now you can buy manufacturered prepared food for the gappers)
Soaked dry cat food is one of the ingredients in the wild bird recipe. Works great for crows, mockingbirds and birds of prey in the nesting age.
For an emergency issue such as a baby bird still in down feathers or no feathers at all, soak cat kibbles in warm water and feed them often...(making sure the butt is clean, they eat and poop much like kittens)
You can keep them going for 2 days like this until you locate a rescue to take the squawkers or make your own food and raise them for releaselater.
Cat food is good stuff, ask any dog.
( I do not condone giving cat food to a dog, but only in an emergency)
