why is my ring neck dove loosing feathers on middle head and neck?
My bird is loosing feathers aroung the neck and middle of the head down to the beak. I want to know if it might be sick or nervenous. He has been thru alot with moving and we lost 2 birds already one was sick when it was born nothing catching and the other was found a home. If anyone could help us out it sure would be appreciated. Oh! one more we are feeding like five mealworms a day is this good for him.
What can I feed a morning dove chick?
I just found a mourning dove chick on the middle of the road. Because it followed me and I could not find a nest or parent I took it home. I have it sitting in an old bird nest in a cage and it seems to be ok for now, but what do I feed it?

How do I raise a baby bird?
We found what looks like a baby finch or sparrow in the middle of a parking lot, away from where a nest could be. We’re not going to bring it to a vet or anything but we’re going to raise it until it is old enough to fly. We have the correct formula and everything, but we don’t know how often to feed him or if we should clean him off after he’s gotten dirty from eating. Also, he has a patch on his breast without feathers, but he’s old enough to have feathers everywhere. Is he hurt?
Do robins learn to hunt by instinct?
We found a baby robin in the middle of the road, and we already know how to feed it. I know you aren’t supposde to touch baby birds, but we are wearing gloves most of the time.
We don’t want to release it if it can’t hunt.

I found a baby bird on the ground it fall out of its nest. What do i do?
My sister and I found a baby bird on the ground in the middle of the yard. There were only very high branches above us. We give the baby bird a bug and a grub and also some water out of a syringe. Our neighbor works with animals and she told us once before that if you touch a bird its mother WILL come back for it. We put the bird in a shoe box with some leaves and grass then we put the baby bird in some shrubs to wait for its mother but if the mother does not come back we would not know the correct food to feed it. How can we kept this baby bird alive?
Orphaned mice! What do i do?
Well, we were cleaning out the garage so it can be pressure washed and we came upon a nest of mice. We didn’t have any choice but to move them (they were smack dab in the middle of the garage under a box). Now I’m not sure what to do with them. I had two pet mice who recently passed away from old age so i just put the babies in the old enclosure (new bedding of course). I’m kind of hoping that after the garage is cleaned if it would be feasible to put them in a corner and hope their mom can find them. If not however, I’m not sure what to do, there aren’t any wildlife rehabilitators or pet stores (besides Petsmart) nearby. I had to transport orphaned pinkie opossums once so i know to keep them in the dark (threw a towel over the enclosure) and to keep them warm in the meantime. They are pinkies but are starting to get fur (just barely). So i need advice on what’s best to do for them as i know time is of the essence. If worst comes to worst the local vet will euthanize them to keep them from suffering (has done so for injured birds before) although i hope that isn’t what needs to happen. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
