I found a baby pidgeon on the road, it had feathers, but it caan barely fly…and there is no nest nearby, and I can find a pidgeon in sight. I put it in a box, with food and water. Does anyone know a place where they will take in a baby bird (in the Chicago Land area, or near it (northern Illinois))?
Thanks…
And I can’t keep it outside because it will be near the road, and it walks to the road a lot. Also because there are a lot of dogs that go on walks around my house.
THANKS!!
We found a baby bird out on the lawn and everytime I threw bread out it’d open it’s beak. I didn’t give it any. There are no trees around, but two adult birds but we can’t tell if they’re the parents because they won’t feed it. It ran across the road so my brother led it over there safely but it tried coming back to our side. W e put it back on the other side and all it does is sit there and chirp chirp chirp. What should I do, the adult birds are gone, i’m afraid it’ll get runover or starve.
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.
I found a crow on the side of the road, and cant tell if his/her leg or broken or not, he/she looks like a young bird, Not a baby,but teen lets say, and i’m not sure what to do w/ it. I’ve been feeding it well, i mean… they ARE garbage birds, but i feed him cheese,cherries,rasberries,bread,everything almost. What should i DO?!
I have feeders with seed,fat and peanuts 6ft on a garage wall to avoid cats. Ground feeders ie starlings and blackbirds visit but no one visits the feeders. A blue tit visited and left immediately on looking and has not returned. They are checked daily that they are fresh. My sister has lots visiting her garden up the road. What can I do to encourage them into mine?

I have places 4 feeders with seed,fat,peanuts etc on the garage 6 ft up to avoid predators. One blue tit has visited and left. No more have visited. Ground feeders are in abundance ei starlings and blackbirds. What am I doing wrong. My sister up the road has lots visiting her garden.
I have also placed my boxes north east pointing down to no avail. The boxes are 14 ft away from feeders.
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?
