What to feed young-ish zebra finches?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I took two little baby zebra finches (no adult colouring at all) out of my aviary and put them in an indoor cage. The nest had been abandoned and there was a dead baby bird in there too. The two birds I took out had just fledged and no other birds seemed to be paying them much attention. The nesting box was wrecked so I have since pulled it out. I have provided the two young birds with finch seed and water but I have noticed that there are no cracked seeds or husks. I presume this is because they aren’t eating. I’ve tried to feed them some warm porridge and milk through a dropper and this worked a little bit, but it was late and they seemed tired. Any advice on a homemade feeding recipe and feeding techniques would be appreciated. Thanx

What should I do with Delores?

Posted on May 23, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

Well I saw this little baby bird fall out of its nest and the mother made no move to get it, so after about 10 minutes I just picked the bird up and took it home with me. I’ve been feeding it little bits of bread soaked in sugarwater and hard boiled egg yolk, and she seems to like it. I have made a little nest out of tissue paper in a container and put it in a big box. She’s sleeping alot… but I don’t know what to do with her! I don’t know if its legal to keep her until she’s old enough to go out on her own [But of course I'll leave bread on my deck for her. ;P]… I also don’t know what kind of bird she is… Help? http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1249.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1252.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1251.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1248.jpg http://i261.photobucket.com/albums/ii62/xXChyoXx/DSCF1250.jpg What kind of bird is she and is it legal to keep her?
Its definitly not a Robin. :/ It looks nothing like one!! And it would have absolutely no reason to be in the area, Robins just aren’t native to my area. So if anyone else has a sensible answer, please help. And as for the food situation, I followed instructions from a website that really seemed to know what they were doing. And she’s been with me for 5 hours and she is actually seeming to get a little stronger, she’s chirping and moving around alot. But she’s also sleeping alot. And as to the “You should have left her there” thing, she would have frozen to death or been stepped on or kille as some mean joke. I found her by a highschool, in a place where it always rains and snows and its always cold. I don’t think the parents were even there!
Oh and also, she was found in the middle of a walkway. And yeah, I think she might be a sparrow :]

So on my way back home, i found this little baby crow trying to across the street, probably a weeks old and seems to fall from its nest. I approached it and this cute little things run to the bushes, scares to death. I know it wont survive without a care so i searched for it even though my shirt’s gettin mess and those street guys making fun of me. Ok, i found it – took it to my home. Put it in a box to make it warm a little bit. But next steps, i dunno! I want to return the baby crow to its nest but i cant find it! Pls…. i know there’s many people will take this lightly coz crow aint a fav birds, many people hated ‘em. But pls help me dudes…!

Thx!
Its very young and i dont think it’ll eat by its own…
