The droppings are just in one section but look like they belong to more than what one mouse can produce. I see no holes in the walls and there are no drain pipes. I do know that my upstairs neighbor feeds birds above us. Is that related somehow? Is there something I should do? I’m freaking out.

Just curious, but I put out food and water for the squirrels on my apartment balcony. I live on the 3rd floor and they jump over from a hanging tree branch and munch away from sun up to sun down, but I never see one stop by when it’s dark.
Where do they go at night? and they don’t eat at night?
The reason I’m confused is because I know that other similar animals like apossums, racoons, skunks and such are always seen more after dark than in the daytime, so I figure that is when they come out in search of food.
So, are my squirrels just so well fed that they don’t have to bother?? LOL
Also, am I hurting the squirrels by feeding them? They aren’t tame and they would never come up to me, but I do sit in my living room and watch them throughout the day stop by and have their fill of peanuts, corn, sunflower seeds, and bird seeds…..and water too. It’s so cute to see them drinking out of the water dish….lol.
Thanks for any info you have.

I have a baby bird that has most of his feathers and is trying very hard to fly. I found him just yesterday at a park on the floor so i took him in. He cannot fly or perch. He crawls a lot and flaps his wings untill hes out of breath.
Should i return him where i found him or keep him in my care until he learns to fly?
Right now hes eating moist cat food and is in a soft box.
I feed him every hour.
well my budgie has had many babys and most have survived but this time she had a baby and another budgie went in her nesstbox and chucked the baby out when i went in the avary the baby budgie was almost dead and the mother was on the floor at the other side so i put the mother n baby back in the nest box and got the other bird out the baby diad and then i noticed the mother bird stoped been able to fly and becam weak could this have been depression or just becouse shes diad becouse of having babys or just died for no apparent reason

I don’t really know what to do. I think it is fertilized because she is living in the same cage with a male. I just bought a nesting box and put the egg in there, did i do something wrong? And also i found it weird that my male cockatiel was the first to go into it.
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?
