how do I care for a baby wren fallen from the nest?

Posted on April 5, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

We had a feeling it would fall.We watched it go in and out of house and sure enough it fell into the wheelbarrow I placed under the house with a folded tarp inside to pad it’s fall.We tried putting it back without touching it but either it or it’s sibling has fallen and made it to the ground.
Mama bird has’nt been seen all day.Don’t know
how old they are but they have their wing and tail feathers rest of their body is down covered.
Mama bird made it back to nest every few minutes yesterday.Don’t know if it’s time for them to be on their own or if somethings happened to her.Need to know what to feed as this one’s obviously hungry and does’nt seem to care that we’re not birds.Have’nt touched it but it’s sitting inside a trash can on the back porch for it’s own safety at the moment chirping loudly.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Keeping baby birds warm?

Posted on October 30, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m trying to raise some baby blackbirds that have fallen out of their nest. The mom built the nest in the wall of my barn. The babies couldn’t stay in it, I’ve tried putting them back several times and they fall again. One died from the fall onto a concrete floor. I took the other three this morning. I’ve been feeding them every hour and they seem to be doing well. Every time I feed them I give them two hot water bottles. I’m worried about them getting too cold over night in the house with the AC on. They are nestled together in some straw on one side of the box with a hot water bottle on each side. Would it be ok to wrap a heating pad in a wash cloth and put it on the other side of the box, leaving it on a low setting overnight?

I found a baby bird and need help?

Posted on September 20, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I found this little bird outside of its nest about an hour ago. It’s a high birdhouse and it looks like it was trying to fly and fell. I’ve got him safe in a comfortable box with tiny bits of bread for him to try to eat (He’s a baby, he doesn’t really know how to eat). And he can’t fly obviously so he’s really vulnerable. It looks like he was a little injured from the fall but he might be okay. I need suggestions on how to help him have some chance of survivor. And no, I can’t return him to the nest because the mother won’t care for him after he’s left.

P.S; how does a baby bird drink water? I’ve got a small little cap full of water near him but he hasn’t drank it or tried to eat the bread crumbs. He’s been sleeping for awhile, and still alive because he’s breathing, so I’ve left him alone.

Suggestions?
Those people don’t take regular birds. .__.
Also, those people only come for emergencies. And a bottle is WAY too big for about a week old bird.
Kay, the nest in a birdhouse 12 FEET UP. I’d have to fly to get to it. <_<

When will the Blue birds stop attacking my car?

Posted on August 28, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I went out and bought a car cover because it seemed they even saw their self in my tinted windows so I had to cover the whole car. Will they stop soon or will they do this until this fall? I can’t uncover my car for 5 mins without them coming and attacking it. When I get home I hae to put everything down and cover it up real fast or they come and attack it. Is this going to happen next year too? My husband is thinking of moving the nest box.

When you think of Thanksgiving, food no doubt comes to mind… and that goes for our feathered friends as well. Allen Smith explains in a report that’s “for the birds.”

What should I do with Delores?

Posted on June 23, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

Well I saw this little baby bird fall out of its nest and the mother made no move to get it, so after about 10 minutes I just picked the bird up and took it home with me. I’ve been feeding it little bits of bread soaked in sugarwater and hard boiled egg yolk, and she seems to like it. I have made a little nest out of tissue paper in a container and put it in a big box. She’s sleeping alot… but I don’t know what to do with her! I don’t know if its legal to keep her until she’s old enough to go out on her own [But of course I'll leave bread on my deck for her. ;P]… I also don’t know what kind of bird she is… Help? http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1249.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1252.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1251.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1248.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1250.jpg What kind of bird is she and is it legal to keep her?
Its definitly not a Robin. :/ It looks nothing like one!! And it would have absolutely no reason to be in the area, Robins just aren’t native to my area. So if anyone else has a sensible answer, please help. And as for the food situation, I followed instructions from a website that really seemed to know what they were doing. And she’s been with me for 5 hours and she is actually seeming to get a little stronger, she’s chirping and moving around alot. But she’s also sleeping alot. And as to the “You should have left her there” thing, she would have frozen to death or been stepped on or kille as some mean joke. I found her by a highschool, in a place where it always rains and snows and its always cold. I don’t think the parents were even there!
Oh and also, she was found in the middle of a walkway. And yeah, I think she might be a sparrow :]

what type of bird is this?

Posted on June 17, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

i found this baby bird outside and it was getting cold so i brought him in, the nest that he fell from was above my head and i couldnt get to it. he wasnt hurt from the fall but the nest was inside of a box on an electric pole i dont think that i should have messed with it, and if i were to open the box i woud have disturbed the whole nest. well i have had it for 2 nights, i frequently wake up to feed it…its a pain but i want it to live. i have been feeding it diluted dog food and it seems to be healthy. i was just wondering what type of bird it is so that i know how to better take care of it.
