how long until baby birds leave the nest? I have a nest in my garage and…?

Posted on April 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

About a week ago I noticed a bird flying in and out of a box on a shelf in my garage, sure enough there were little eggs in it. Sense then I have not disturbed it, did my best to keep the the cat away, etc.. Today i peeked in, and there were 5 tiny baby birds, looked like they very recently hatched. How long until they are able to fly out the nest and survive… im going through the moving process and there is noise and everything during the day.. we also have a cat, and to my knowledge she has not noticed the next but I’m worried she will jump on the shelf and disturb or harm them, i keep her in at night, so hopefully the mother bird is around at night more then the day? recently i have not noticed her flying in and out as much.. I know the rules, dont touch or look too much; Any helpful answers to my questions will be great!

What Should I Do With This Injured Baby Robin?

Posted on April 22, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

It’s hurt and cannot fly. Should I take it to a bird sanctuary, or leave it alone?

The Story: Two red breasted robins decided to nest this year in my bush. They had two eggs, one hatched about a week before the other.
Later, the older one decided it was time to leave the nest. In the confusion of it wandering around and shaking all the branches, the littler one got spooked, leaped, and fell from the nest about 4.5 feet.
At first, I decided the best thing to do would be to leave it alone, but then my dog caught the scent and bit it. The bite wasn’t too terribly hard and it didn’t break the skin, but I thought it wasn’t safe on the ground.
I put the baby robin in a good size box with an open lid. The box was tall enough that it couldn’t jump out of it, but it could FLY out of. The parents continued to feed and protect the baby while it was in the box.
But now, about a week later, the little bird still cannot fly, while his older sibling can. I also noticed that his foot is twisted and deformed, and he cannot stand on it.

The parents are still caring for the little thing, but I fear they will stop if it doesn’t learn to fly soon. What should I do with it?

note to that – it does not look like a Baby bird..
it is small , Brown and looks like a regular street bird.
it doesn’t look like a baby bird.. its about the size of my palm

Is it so that when one reports a bird that is too young to fly, to the R.S.P.B /R.S.P.C.A.?

Posted on April 18, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

We found a bird, which was being attacked (pecked at) by crows, yesterday. at 11.18a.m. We brought the bird about size of a hand, into our home, and rang up the royal society for the protection of birds!
They said to place bird in a box in a quite cool room, and one of their agents would collect the same. The bird was still not able to fly it must have fallen out it’s nest! It seemed uninjured but obviously it needed feeding and i tried to mash up a worm for it but the bird ner really ate it.albeit the bird did drink a little water. At 8 p.m. and three more calls to the R.S.P.B. I had to go out. My Son, thought they were not calling and as He is scared of Birds, He put itin our back garden. But a Woman did call before 9pm and albeit hey went in garden could not find the bird. Callus again if you find the bird in the morning.
Luckily the little bird survived and was there this morning, all it needed was food crushed up and a week or so in a secure aviary, so he/she could practice how to fly, as it would try but did not know how too.
So we phoned up the R.S.P.B .we were informed an agent would call today, albeit no time was given .
I gave my Son’s mobile number and my landline number.
Within an hour He had a call from the R.S.P.B. on his mobile.
The same woman that called last night, told to my Son, to take the harmless little bird, to Wood Street vets to have it put down, As she could not be bothered to call again!

I thought that this body of people who are a charity, are there to protect birds, not say put them down cause they can no be bothered to call again!
Can anyone advise me please.
tanking you all that may
The number for the rspca is the same as for the rspb =03001234999
I don’t know what to do I can no look after this bird he needs professional help and time to learn how to fly! That is all he must have dropped from his nest yet she states over phone to My Son, She can no be bothered take him to vets to have put down !
thank you Beau and thank you Wacky, I am going to report her I notice on both their sites one has to report on their site to them in ‘contact us’. I live @ mo; in Barnet.
