    Hiya,
    I’m rearing a baby house martin at the moment, I’ve had him/her 3 weeks now. He is thriving and currently sat on my shoulder as I type this. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to release him, I tried last night, he flew away several times and flew straight back to me.
    Keep up the good work.

    Hi,
    We have 5 orphaned house martins. I wanted to feed them but they don’t open their mouths. How can you make sure the open it. They do drink some water droplets. Please respond

    Yesterday 3 of the 5 openend their mouth by itself and the other 2 we had to gently force.
    Today all 5 opened their mouth automatically.

    Hi there,
    I have one question, how many times a day did you feed the house martins?

  8. mohsenhd53 says:

    their mother feeds them all day long, so i do remember papa fed him/ her many times a day and i think the more you feed them, the quicker they ll grow.
