What Should I Feed A Baby Bird When His Mom Is Lost?

It depends on so many things (is it a seed eater or an insect eater?)... And it's chances of survival are really slim if you haven't had experience with this before.  If it has feathers instead of fluffy down... Then it doesn't need you, it's parents are taking care of it even though it's out of the nest and you don't see them... If they're in their nest, chances are she's taking care of them, she's just not letting you see her come and go.. If their bald or fluffy and out of the nest.. See if you can find the nest and get them back in... If neither of those is possible, my suggestion is that you find a wildlife rehabilitator in your area or contact you local SPCA. 
If you can't do that right away.. You can keep them hydrated by putting drops of gatorade on their closed beaks... DO NOT put liquids directly into a baby birds mouth.. It will get in it's lungs and kill them... And if you need to, you can feed hard boiled egg yolk (just the yellow) until you can get help.

As above, we don't know what type of bird it is.
 
I have fed small birds baby porridge. Some pet stores also have vitamin supplements you can add to it's diet.
Don't force feed it though.
What you basically should rather do is  take the bird to a vet/rehab centre/ expert / phone them for advice and guidance.
