I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘fly’

A few hours ago, I heard birds chirping really loud, i went outside to see what was up and saw 2 birds looking directly at a bush, i looked at the bush and was suprised to a baby bird, based on what I saw I assumed the bird fell out of its nest ( the nest was on the roof of my house, i know because ocasionally i’d see those 2 birds fly up there ) and the 2 birds are trying to figure how to get the baby back up there, i felt real bad for the bird but went back inside, about 2 hours later i noticed there wasnt any more chirping outside, so i went outside and couldn’t find those 2 birds anywhere but I did find the baby bird still in the bush, i didnt know wat to do, if i left it inside the bush it was likely to be cat food. I thought for a while about what to do… I got a shoe box with 2 holes in it, some hamster bedding, and then put the hamster bedding inside the box, i then went to the sink got a really really small glass bowl ( small enough so the bird could drink out of it ) and filled it with water, I picked up the bird and put it in the shoe box, brought the box inside my house and now here i am, I tryd to spoon feed it water ( well i guess i mean spoon drink it ) but it wouldn’t take it, it just sits there all scared and shakey, if i put my hand over the box it’ll pull its head back into its body and its wings will come towards my hand just a little bit. I have no clue what to do, I’m probably gonna take it to an animal shelter. What to do??
I just read recently on a website that a baby bird outside of its nest is considered a fledgling, falling out of its nest on purpose to keep away from predators like hawks or climbing cats and being fed by their parents who will soon come back and keep feeding it for a few weeks until it is able to hunt for food its self and be on its own… i feel ive done the wrong thing. I also read that once human hands have touched it, the parents will never accept it again. Is any of this misleading information? Should I tomorrow take it to a shelter, or bring it back to the bush where it could still be cat food?
to first poster: I can’t put it back in its nest, its to far up on my house and I can’t get a ladder to climb.

I found two baby birds outside. I’m guessing they blew out of their nest because it was really windy. I couldn’t find their nest so I took them home so I could take care of them. I bought worms, their in a box, and I have a lamp over them for heat. How long until they are old enough to fly? Do you have any other advice for me? I don’t know much about birds. I don’t even know what kind they are.

He found it on the ground yesterday when he was riding his go-cart. He looked around to see if he oculd find his mom or atleast a bird nest anywhere, but no luck. He has him in a box with some leaves, straw and some popcorn. He seems to be pretty healthy but just can’t fly right now. Any suggestions on care for this bird until he can fly? and what to feed it. Thanks!

i found a baby bird outside of my yard. i cant find a nest so its in my house in a box. it tries to fly and doesnt go so far. i tried to feed her water and she drank. i made the water run down a cone and she swallowed the drops. but i dont know how to feed her. i placed a small wet bread crumb but she wouldnt swallow. please help in informing me about other methods i can use. any pointers on how to feed her or what would be the best thing to do? any form of help.
please help!!!!

My dog was barking outside and would not stop! I went outside to look and it was a baby bird! Me and my mom put him in a box. He can’t fly yet but has feathers and hops around trying to fly. Soon he fell asleep in the box. My step-dad is going to be home soon and we are going to put him back in the nest. Do you think his mom may have left him? What things should we give him to keep him alive for a couple more hours?
