How can I save this baby bird?!?!?! DX?
DX a bird with a broken wing was found inside out house next to our open Winter. It is a fledgling which means it is big enough to hop around. We put it in a box to high for it to hop out of. Hr covered the bottom of the box with some cotton, wool hats and some torn up newspaper. I gave it a worm after cutting it in half and gave it some crunched up pieces of apple and some pieces of black berries. We read to put it next to the nest but we don’t know where that is and we think cats might get to it…: gonk AND CUTE THINGS CANT DIE!…although it seems to be very alive so far.
-,-….it’s not that bloody bad..and I wrote it really fast because I needed an answer right away…and like I said it will be hard to put it outside because there are alot of cats around.

help….my tiel is sick!!?
this morning, when i went to go feed my cockatiels, one of them was sqautted in the bottom of the cage with his feathers fluffed, his wings spread out, and his eyes squinted shut. i stayed home from school to take care of him. i moved him to a box with towels and heating pads in it, but he doesnt seem to be feeling any better. he’ll drink water from a syringe, but he wont eat anything, not even millet or baby bird formula. i cant get him to the vet for at least a day or two. he seems to just be getting worse though. what else can i do for him?? PLEASE HELP!!
by the way…its a male bird.
What nesting matererials should I use?
Not to long ago, my dad and I built a good sized nesting box for my parakeets (budgies), but we didn’t have a tool thing to make and indent in the bottom, so since I already have the box in the cage and my birds are checking it out, I was wondering what I could but in the bottom, because I’m worried about splayed legs and the eggs rolling around everywhere.
I’m to lazy at the moment to look online or in a book, so….please help.
And, yes, in case some of you are wondering, my birds are old enough to be breeding.
So, what, cedar chips or something? Uggghhh, I have no clue.
yeah, but, basically what im saying is that i dont have in indention in my box.
Thanks Graceface. i just now read you up date, well, ill ask my mom if we can go check out what the pet store has, and keep posting whats up with my birds. thanks again.
okokko i want to the store, and got some timithory grass stuffs, the front of hte bag thing says ‘Sun Cured Western cut timothy junior hay bales no preservatives, all natural’ ahhh…..just making sure i got the right stuff…did i? its from sunn seed sunthing special ok so do i just put it at the bottom of the cage or on top of the box, or IN the box?
my parakeet is pushing her baby away?
my parakeet laid 5 eggs one of the eggs hatched and she is pushing the baby away. we have her and the eggs in a nesting box. i looked in the box to check on the baby and it wasn’t there i found her on the bottom of the cage the baby is like a day old. so i got the baby and put her back in the box she was still alive. i checked again 30 min later and she had the baby bird on the other side of the box where i found her >dead< 
what do i do if the other eggs hatch and she does this again? please help!
