We found a baby bird- Help?!?
While my little sister was outside with her friend, she saw our cat carrying a baby bird in it’s mouth. She ran over to our cat, and made her let go. We put her in a box, with a heating lamp, and some bird food, we had from one of our previous birds. It doesn’t seemed to be damaged it can run, and has all it’s feathers, and it’s eyes are open. Here’s a small picture of it:

But we didn’t find any. We can’t bring it to a wildlife rehab center, or whatever; because we live in a super small city, and I don’t think there are any near. We also, can’t put it back into it’s nest, we don’t know where it is, our cat could’ve had it in her mouth for a long time. Before we start looking for where it could be, is there anything we could do, to try to keep it alive as long as possible?
Thanks.
I found two baby birds outside?
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.
What do I do with bird egg I found?
So I went outside today and I saw two little blue brown-speckled eggs cracked open on the grass. One was just a shell the other had yolk pouring out. Then I found one that seems in tact. I put some grass in a box and put the egg in. The I put that under a lamp. What do I do now? I did some research saying it could be dead already and that I have to keep turning the egg so the embryo doesn’t stick to the egg. I saw a nest it must have fallen out of but it’s too high up for me to reach and theres wasps in there so I’m not going near it.
Anyone know how to care for bird eggs? What do I do if it hatches?
How do I heat my small aviary bird box?
I am building a small outside aviary for two pairs of celestial parrotlets that i hope to breed. I will be putting a 2ft x 1ft box in each aviary made from medium ply wood to house a budgie nesting box. Do I need to use a heat lamp aswell ? if so what wattage and is the box large enough so as not to over heat them.
