Baby Bird found in yard need immediate help! (urgent!)?

Posted on March 1, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I found this baby robin on the ground below its nest it didnt look quite right. Its mother was feeding it so i just hoped for the best. I researched online and it described it as a hedgling. A bird that will jump out of its nest to begin to fly. Sadly, this bird seems far too young and weak to fly anytime soon. On day 2 we discovered the mother bird was gone. So I fed it (bread dopped in milk or water) and it ate hungrily. I also got it too drink some water while feeding it. I put the bird in a box of hay (WITH MY GLOVES ON) so not to put a scent on the bird. And the mother bird came back with a worm in its mouth! so now the baby (who i named baldwin =]) is in a box and its mother gets close to the box. But doesnt get in! Please help me find a way to get the mother to take care of baby baldwin!!!
-thanks
boy i feel terrible now =[

What can I do to remove a bird’s nest with baby birds?

Posted on February 19, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

I have a truck and in the front of the truck behind the headlight a bird has built a nest. There are baby birds in the nest and every time I go to town and come back hours later the birds are still there and the mother bird is persistent about coming back and feeding the birds no matter where I park my truck.

Now the birds are starting to get larger and I am afraid the birds will fall out going down the road or the cats will get them. So I really need to remove these birds from my truck.

Anyone have any suggestions as what to do? I don’t have time to hand raise these birds. Do I remove them and put them in a different spot? If I do will the mother find them? Do I make a box and put the nest in it nearby?

Any advise would be appreciated.

Help!!! i have a nest freshly build, under my deck. i hate to touch it really but is on top of my Jacuzzi .?

Posted on February 4, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

the nest is empty at this time, and would like to keep it under the deck for the sake of the hardworking mother bird and her future chicks, but under my Jacuzzi i can’t have it, so im thinking of moving it 3 feet away, same height. The new under the deck don’t have same support plank as where the nest is, if i place a box and make wide hole would it work? guess it would have to be weatherproof maybe wooded box? i need to know what to do before she give birth, any suggestion will help!

what to give a baby pigeon that cant fly and has no mother?

Posted on December 27, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

well where i live there are these pillars that birds nest on and every year we see a mother bird and its babies. some reason this year one of the babies hatched and fell from the pillar in front of my apt. and neighbors (who don’t speak english) put it in a box with leaves, a bowl of water and rice at the bottom of the bowl. ?:(
i understand there customs are different from us american (they are indian) but I’m not sure what i should do, if i can help in any way, if i could buy fish bate for the bird or something.I’m very concerned because the box just sits outside the pillar it first fell off of.

if you have any info on it please share as soon as possible I’m not sure how much longer it can take being in a box without proper care and food

I found a baby bird, nest destroyed and the parents are still around what should I do?

Posted on July 4, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

During a wind storm, this dove/pigeon (baby) fell out of its nest and the nest is gone. But the Parent birds are still hanging around. I put the baby bird in a box and the mother bird went down to it, fed it once or twice, and then just watched it. I went out there a few times to check on it.
And now only the father is out there not near it just sitting in the tree. the baby hasn’t eaten for more than 8 hours. I’m scared and i dont want it to die. What should i do. i have this cage that i put it in and it doesnt have a top to it, i thought that would work that way it cant get out and the parents can still get to it. will that work.
