If you are concerned the baby is orphaned, watch for parents feeding the baby for 2-4 hours.

Breaking up is hard to do. About how often to feed it, that goes from 2 hours to 4/5 times a day, depending on species and age, so it's impossible to answer. If you do this often enough, they will follow you down the street to get more. But ask yourself, how much do you need the crow? I just researched it and ran up to the local pet store. As your child grows, he should be able to go 3 to 4 hours without eating. Begin offering other foods at 6 weeks. I don’t mean to be rude, it’s possible you are very good at identification. Youngsters need a diet that is at least 25 to 50 percent protein. Healthy crow fledglings can be introduced to ANY crow family pod and will be accepted, fed, and protected as one of their own (we should be so lucky). So I need to ask, how are you certain that the bird was 1) a baby crow 2) the attacking birds were crows and 3) they were the parents? This means that you need to feed the fledgling every 10 to 20 minutes during the day.

The other thing to note is that crows love water. However, we still say don't do it. They have a powdered mix to put w/water and for treats, nice juicy worms...all under $10.00. Leave a trail of peanuts from your old house to your new while the crows are watching. However, if you find a baby opossum and the circumstances call to feed them as an urgent or vital requirement, you can adopt the following guidelines while feeding your nocturnal marsupial. You're free to stop feeding it because the crow doesn't actually need you. If you're moving out of their territory, it would be awkward for them to barge in on another crow's territory to interact with you (bad crow etiquette to invade neighbor crow's area). The following information pertains specifically to baby crows, but much of it also applies to other baby songbirds as well. HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU FEED? Sunflower seeds, peanuts, in or out of the shell, and just about anything that a teenage boy would love. The baby should be weighed daily to ensure it is receiving sufficient food. But, if I don't pick it up my cat/dog will kill it. If you find a fledgling crow, leave it be! If you are concerned the baby is orphaned, watch for parents feeding the baby for 2-4 hours.

If the fledgling is in immediate danger, it is okay to gently pick it up and place it in a nearby bush or tree. As I mentioned, kibbled cat or dog food (pea sized chunks) is cheap and provides complete nutrition for the omnivorous crows. No human other than a licensed bird rehabber has the proper equipment, food supplements, or endurance to keep up that frantic feeding schedule.
