My budgie died – should I feel guilty?

Posted on May 17, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

We started to feed a local cat some months ago, and it adopted us. Yesterday, I accidentally left the bird cage open and my mom accidentally left the room door open. The cat ate our budgie. My mom says it’s my fault, and I feel guilty as well as sad. Is mom right to blame me?

they have ruined her garden, especailly all the squirrels. She pours buckets of food out each day and they bury there peanuts in her yard too. There are peanut trees growing everywere in her yard now. They look like small weed trees and also lots of bird poop from the birds?? what can she do..Are the squirrels part of the rodent family and do they carry germs ??

She told the lady and all she said was COVER up your garden, very rude…. is this unhealthy since its black birds( crows) and squirrels ? Thanks
there are too many of them, and if there unhealthy thats her main concern… because of all the poop and stuff, thanks

How do I get rid of foxes??

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

Because I feed birds, I also have a number of squirrels in my backyard as well. The local foxes have figured this out, and have began feasting on the squirrels. Short of stopping the feeding of birds, is there any way to get rid of the foxes? I have a dog, and I know that foxes can carry scabies. Thanks

I found a wild baby bird and it just died, does anyone know why?

Posted on May 16, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

ok i was in Greely, Colorado the other day and a mother black bird was kicking her baby otu of the nest repeatedly after we put it back in the nest. So i brought it back to my house, Peyton, Colorado and it did fine. That is until about 2 days after ive had it here, it was eating and jumping around and stuff but then today i came in to feed again (eggs scrambled and finley smashed up with water and some baby formula) and it was laying on its side (this morning i noticed it had stopped chirping completley and was only making a weasing noise) i had no idea what to do so i hopped on the internet and tryed to find what i should dom and found nothing. He died about 15 minutes after i had seen him on his side. He was about 2-3 weeks old only had a few feathers and pink still showing, I would like to know why this happened. I beleive it could have been a respitory problem judging by the loss of chirping, but i had a heat lamp over him. *This was a BlackBird by the way* ANY ADVICE NEEDED!
