ok,during the last 3 months we have had bees nesting in our bird box and this last week they have seemed to of disappeared,so out of curiosity we thought would go and take it down and have a look inside,as we started to get inside we noticed maggot looking creatures crawling around inside the box, but they were bright yellow unlike any maggot ive ever seen, so we need to know if they are bee larvae or maggots ,thanks for the help ,martin
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?

My cat came over the fence with a bird in his mouth and I instantly cryed and shouted my mother to come and get it off of him and she did but the bird wouldn’t move for a minute and the it ran, we finaly caught it and put it in a big box, we took a closer look at it and saw that it was a baby that couldn’t yet fly. so my cat birdnapped it from it’s nest. It is now in a big box outside with a cage over it so nothing could get in to it. It’s mother came a couple of times and we took the cage of and then the mother went in with a worm and came out without it so it had been feeding it.
but now I don’t know what to do with it because if i let it go some cat like mine is going to find it again because it can’t fly yet…
btw My cat didn’t hurt it, we caught him in time, the bird is very active and keen to get out but i cant let him go because he wont be able to get back into a tree?
please help x
I don’t know where it’s nest is.
I had noticed these little black things on my floor and after a few days took a close look to find they had legs. Little round looking bugs with small legs and move very slowly. They also have some kind of speckeling on them. I found they were hatching out of a bag of bird food. Can anyone help my identify this insect?
