Are you sure? While bread might sustain some adult birds, small birds need protein and calcium in order to grow. It is hard to imagine that banana and bread can provide the necessary nutrients for a bird that is still growing. This bird is almost covered by feather, but it can't fly. It is still a fledgling.
