Jack Sparrow is in need.

Jack Sparrow is a Chipping Sparrow that has a dislocated wing. I currently have him with be right next to my computer. I've watered him many times and tried to give him Chai seeds, since I read that they eat seeds and insects.

Jack is not eating and I'm wondering what types of insects are okay for him to eat. I get not ones bigger than him, but I know he needs help. I am barely 16 yet and I've phoned a professional but all they say is wrap his wing to his body, keep him fed and watered. Not how to feed or water him. I've been using a small straw to give him water and he's drinking perfectly. The problem I'm having is him eating.

I could really use some advise, I'll be waiting a reply.
