i cant think of the name of this childrens book?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

the problem i am having is that i am trying to find this one childrens book. i must have lost it moving or something. well in this book this girl and her younger sister are on this boat. on this boat there are tropical birds and plants i think she got some of her food from the plants and fished for the rest of her supper. i remember her feeding her younger sister and taking care of her. kinda like playing mommy. then this storm ends up hitting and she is trying to bring the boat out of it. i am pretty sure that the next thing you know she is back in her own bed at home. if anyone out there knows what book i am talking about please if you would help me. i remember reading it when i was little and now that i am going to have a little one of my own i would love to read it to him. any help would be great! thanks
i know that it is a little book, something you read to a young child

Just adopted 2 sugar gliders!! need help please!!!!!?

Posted on December 21, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My husband and I just adopted 2 cute little sugar gliders! One girl and one boy, they are almost a year old. They came from below standard living conditions, they’re cage was a very tiny little bird cage and they were never really taken out. They were only fed quiko sugar glider food and thats about it. Even though they werent played with they are somewhat tame and eat fruit out of our hands and don’t crab too much. I just wanted to ask the experianced glider mommy and dadys out there afew questions;
1.The cage smells awful!Theyre poo is caked to the side of the cage, we can’t seem to get it off.Whats a safe way to clean it?
2.Is the quicko food ok?What else should we feed them,when and how much?
3.We had them out of their cage last night and they would climb on our hands and bite us.They even drew blood on my thumb. How do we bond w/older gliders and will they always bite people they don’t know?
4.What do u recomend as a cage liner? They were using kitty liter.
Thanks!!

Yesterday my dog attcked a little baby bird and it has a fat scratch under its arm, my mom said to leave it outside and the mommy would come and find it, i went to my friends house then came back, my sister put it in a box with some water, hamster bedding and some of my parakeet food.my dog has killed a lot of birds before but all of them were dead by the time we found them.so we gave this little baby bird some water and it helped a lot!it can’t eat seeds or hard things cause it is just a baby.it is in my room and its chirping for food, what should i do?i don’t want to call the vet because i am only 13 and i want to re-connect this baby to its mommy, iv’e been crying all night cause i felt sooo bad,my sister and i looked for worms last night and didn’t find nothing,it was dark so mabey they were sleeping, i will try again this morning,but the moms regurgatate the food for the babys,so how do i grind up the worm?what else can i feed it?how can i re-connect it with it’s mother?

I rescued a house sparrow and it died?

Posted on October 24, 2010 by admin| 2 Comments

I found a bird, must have been young but it had all its feathers and must have fallen from the nest.. I read that mommy birds will kick their young out of the nest sometimes if there is something wrong with them and let it die instead of wasting time feeding them…

Anyway I took it put it in a shoe box on top of sum stockings to keep it wamr and it seemed content.. it wasn’t hard ot catch either and when i pet it, it would close its eyes and seem very calm.. I fed it organic apple blueberry sauce and tried to give it bread but it didnt want the bread… It seemed fine before I went to bed.. It slept all night and when i woke up i woke it up to try to feed it but it wouldnt take the berry mush i had made for it (since the parents regurgitate food usually, which i tried to recreate)

since it wouldnt eat I left it and was going to take it to a rehabilitator or try to see if the mom would come to the place where I found it, but when i got back about 3 hours later it had died.

DO you think it was just sick or did I do something wrong? Im really sad cos I get attached to animals very easily.
It’s legs were broken, it couldn’t even walk, plus it was next to my school’s library and I live on a small campus.
