The following story about a white-eyed vireo was shared with us by Wild Nest Bird Rehab in Georgia.

We are a nonprofit, wildlife rehabilitation organization based in Decatur, Georgia. Our mission is to rehabilitate and release injured and/or orphaned wild birds.
This tiny migrating bird flew into a window at a home residence. The homeowner brought the bird to us injured and stressed. Although he still had quite a bit of mobility in spite of a broken scapula, he refused to eat in captivity and started losing weight.
To keep him from starving to death before he recovered, we began bubble feeding EmerAid IC Carnivore food to him hourly during the day. His weight started climbing back up so he could continue to recover safely.
This is one of many examples of how the EmerAid IC products play a major role in our ability to treat wild birds who have difficulty with their normal diet while in rehab.
