Hello, I've got a baby bird and its eyes still arnt open it looks like it has fallen from its nest, I can't find it nest to put it back either... I've made a nest of my own to put it in but should I feed it ? Or will it just die the next morning ?

You can definitely try to feed it, you will need to buy wet canned cat food such as Recovery or A/D (from your local vet) as well as a syringe, you will need to feed it every couple hours during the day (no need to feed during the night).
