Feeding a baby Sparrow?

Posted on April 20, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

I was out side yesterday and a tiny little Sparrow came hopping into my garage. He’s smaller than an egg. I looked for his nest and couldn’t find it. I ask my girlfriend and she said there was nothing I could do. I left him outside; hiding under a flower pot. This morning I got up and he had made it through the night. I mixed up some sugar water and have been feeding it to him through the day. He’s alive. He can’t fly. His parents can’t lift him back to the nest. And I don’t think he can live on sugar water alone. Any ideas on what to feed a tiny little baby bird?

Posted on March 18, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

Outside on my porch a bird made a nest in a flower pot. It has been there for about 2 weeks. Well this morning i found the nest scattered out on the ground about 2 feet away from where it was, and I looked through the nest remains, and i found nothing. I looked through it about 5 hours later and i found little tiny birds on the ground alive. The birds were about the size of a quarter, and had some feathers on it. also their moth And i dont know what to do. Right now its in a shoe box (the top open) and a light on it. I really dont know what to do…

Please help.

Trying to identify the bird that ate my tomato’s?

Posted on September 7, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I live in New York City (Northern Manhattan) and I planted some tomato’s in a large flower pot and put it on my fire escape. They sprouted and were growing strong but one day I caught this group of black birds with yellowish dots and a yellowish pointy beak eating my crop. They have a nest inside an electrical box under the 1st floor fire escape (I live on the 2nd floor). They look like crows but just smaller and the sparrows and pigeons don’t even mess with them. What are these birds? Is anyone familiar with them. I’ve always seen them but never thought about what they are until they robbed me of my plants. On the internet the only birds that they look like are Grackles but they don’t have a purplish head.
YESSS!!! Its the the European Starling I just a pic of one. Thanks!!!
