I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘anyone’

Can anyone advise me on which is best,
1) nest boxes in the flight area allowing my 2 sets of birds to just have a “free for all” attitude or
2) put them 2 sets into their own private breeding cage and let them get on with it.
I have had 2 answers from bird loving friends but one said colony breeding with nest boxes and the other said hand picked certain birds in private quarters. I am so confused now HELP…

Hello, My lovebirds eye has turned into a HUGE lump. Its almost like a second head. I have pictures if anyone wants to look at it.
About 6 months ago it was just a small lump. I hardly ever see the bird as it hides away in her nesting box but when i fed them today she came out and OMG is it huge. She is quite old i think 10+ years. She was given to me a few years ago from a friend who didnt want to take them to there new house. There are 6 birds in the cage.
I dont really want to take it to the vet but at the same time i dont want it to be suffering. Do you think its a cancer?
If anyone wants to see a picture i am happy to email you the picture. (dont no how to post it on here)

I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.

I’ve read that styles of nesting boxes differ according to type of bird. Can anyone provide a link to a website that offers specific instructions in building one? I would like to place several pieces in my garden.

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!

I have heard people talking about Harrison’s organic bird food. I reasearched it and they didn’t have them in specific sizes. Does anyone have feed this brand. If so, what is the pellet size?

…………..my folks have been feeding stray cats in their backyard for years,ocassionally birds would rush in,grab some pieces,then take off.And fast too; cats,you know?lol.
But out of nowhere a racoon(we think only the one) started eating the cat food too.And this is in the city also,not arural area.Just wondered if anyone knew things about them.And would they try to harm the cats?
