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.

thanks for your comment, can i ask you what do you feed him/her? papa had him/her for one week now but we are thinking to take him/her to a rescue centre for help!!
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
hi there, for the first few days, papa gently forced open its beak
and fed it till started opening it itself whenever needed food. good luck and please let me know what happen to them.
thanks.
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.
hi there, keep up the good work and when they are ready to fly they will leave! i know it s hard to let them go but remember you done a very good job x

In 'Hummingbirds at Home' everything is included that you need to know about taking care of and attracting Hummingbirds. One handy guide, which both current and future Hummingbird fans will love, is all you need!

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.
