There was a cardinal nest outside of my house that i have been watching for the past week or so and slowly but surely i saw two of the three babies leave the nest and last night there was just one left and when i went to check up on her this morning i was surprised to still see her there but when i took a closer look i saw she wasn’t breathing or moving and must have died since the last time i checked up on her, I’m so devastated!! and i cant stand the fact that shes just going to remain in her nest until she is eaten by other animals so would it be okay for me to put her in a shoe box and bury her or am i going to risk getting a disease?

I did initially take it home to give it a tiny bit of water as it is a VERY hot day- anyway i took it back for about an hour to see if the mother would come back but when i returned the bird was freezing (it has no feathers but they do look like they are starting to come out). Anyway i have taken it back home and put it in a box with paper towels/grass and some old nest that we found at the bottom of our garden- i have been feeding it every 20 mins since with mushed up dog food and the occasional bit of water- the bird definately seems to have perked up and has begun moving it head more and twitching and the last time i fed it it even made some noises- is there anything else i can do to make sure the bird has the best chances? i have read up on it but i just want to know if there is any more info? thanks x
- will it become dependent on me as its mother as i will be leaving home in a month – is this too soon?

last time i saw two of these birds in the dream dead.i also saw my mom trying to feed the birds with me.their food hurt my body so much.i don’t really hve any birds.any idea??
My lovebird layed 3 eggs. she does not have a mate or a nest box. She is sitting on the eggs with her head on floor of the cage, her wings slightly unfurled and her butt slightly raised. She did not do this the last time she laid eggs. Should I take the eggs out? IS she eggbound?

my cockatiels are 1 male and 1 female and because they never leave the nest box together since they started nesting, i don’t even know how many eggs they have laid and i didn’t do the candling test. the last time i checked was before nesting started and there were 3 eggs.
i heard that opening the nestbox while the bird is sitting on the eggs will cause them to get scared and break the eggs. is that true? i’m sorry but this is my first experience and i really want to make it right.
thank you
