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.
my brother and i found quite a large baby bird in my backyard the other day. it had been sitting there all day. when we looked up to try and replace it back in a nest we saw nothing near us that looked like one. i brought the baby bird back into my house and since i work at a petstore im keeping it in a box with shavings some cotton and a towel. yesterday it ate some crickets and seemed to keep a few of them down. this morning i woke up and tried to feed it again and it does not seem to want to eat. my boss said that i should call some wildlife person but since i live in the middle of who knows where kansas im not sure where i need to call. does anybody know any wildlife “people” i can call to help me?
Today I witnessed the death of my daughters cat and could do nothing and the local police more or less laughed it off. The cat goes in and out and this morning followed me out to the barn to feed the horses then started chasing a bird and got out by the road, a kid came flying down the road and DELIBERATLY swerved into our yard and hit the cat. I called the police and they said sorry nothing we can do, I don’t think this is right. This cat has three kittens that are still nursing so now we are trying to get them to take milk out of a bowl. Isn’t their someone that can call and get something done about this kid to me it was cruelity to animals not to mention what it did to an innocent 8 year old.
yes we know exactly who did it a kid that lives a couple of miles down the road. We also called and talked to his parents and got told a cat was just a wild animal anyway and no big loss they would find her another one.

sorry for sounding naive, but i know nothing about birds
1.) is it likely to have diseases or something, because we just found it outside, but it’s really small and seems to be a newborn (it’s beak is yellow on the outside)
2.) we tried feeding it small pieces of bread, and even when we put it in its mouth, it doesn’t swallow; how should we feed it?
3.) if it doesn’t swallow, will it die soon?
4.) does it need any accomodations other than a cage (which is a cardboard box w/ breathing holes)
