Posted on April 14, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

my cat brought a baby bird inside the house, the bird is very young. i took it outside to look for the nest but there was not one in site. it is late and all the animal hospitals around me are not open and wont be open till monday because of memorial day weekend. i put it in a box with an old clean sock and tissues with a heating pad underneath it. i need to know how to take care of it. i have mashed up a worm and put it in some water and fed the bird it through a tube, but is there anything else i can do?

Keeping baby birds warm?

Posted on April 14, 2012 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?

Blue egg is due soon, help!?

Posted on March 27, 2012 by admin| 6 Comments

I hvae a bright blue egg, i have been heating it on a heating pad. Is it true that heating pads will cause hatchlings to have some type of deformity? I have been candling it, the light from the flashlight stimulates it to move. I can see veins, and most of the egg is dark and hard to see through unless the chick wiggles around to a different position. How many days before you think it hatches? Should i lower the temperature of the heating pad a few days before it hatches, or keep it the same? I know what to feed the chick, mashed up earthworms. I need as much information on what i have to do to be a prper mommy bird when the egg starts to hatch, any websites with info?
