Ok to feed a baby blue jay earthworms?

Asked by 2gether4never 3 months ago, 4 answers.

So today I saved a baby blue jay from my cats on my sidewalk.
She seems to be fine and eating well, she's just too small to be left outside on her own. She'll let me hold her and pet her now.
I've been feeding her earthworms, raisens, and small...

sunflower seeds and I just wanted to make sure that these things are safe to feed her.

Thanks.

That's the cutest damn thing I've ever heard.

Blue jays can and will eat just about everything they can get their beaks on (much to the chagrin of those who keep feeders), so as long as the little guy is eating what you give him, things should work out just fine.

Does it have feathers? The parents were probally around watching it. They fly from their nest where they spend a few weeks on the ground with their parents periodically checking in on them. Unless it was a hatchling, (meaning NO feathers, completely pink) you should have left it alone and brought your cat inside.

And yes it has feathers.
It just can't fly or walk well.
