how do I care for a baby wren fallen from the nest?

Posted on April 5, 2011 by admin| 9 Comments

We had a feeling it would fall.We watched it go in and out of house and sure enough it fell into the wheelbarrow I placed under the house with a folded tarp inside to pad it’s fall.We tried putting it back without touching it but either it or it’s sibling has fallen and made it to the ground.
Mama bird has’nt been seen all day.Don’t know
how old they are but they have their wing and tail feathers rest of their body is down covered.
Mama bird made it back to nest every few minutes yesterday.Don’t know if it’s time for them to be on their own or if somethings happened to her.Need to know what to feed as this one’s obviously hungry and does’nt seem to care that we’re not birds.Have’nt touched it but it’s sitting inside a trash can on the back porch for it’s own safety at the moment chirping loudly.
HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on March 26, 2011 by admin| 11 Comments

It is old enough to open its eyes and it has a few feathers. It was near a dead sibling and also near a ripped and abandoned nest very high. It has no broken wings but I think its leg might be hurt, please tell me how to figure that out. I want it to survive so dont tell me its hopeless. I am eqiupped with an eye dropper, a shoe box, toliet paper and rubber gloves. I fed it water but I dont know what to do about food. PLEASE HELP!

my budgie wont lay on her eggs.?

Posted on December 1, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

ok, my bird is almost 5 months old, and shes laying eggs, and i dont know if they are fertile because she is in a cage with her dad and her.. other sibling. well i put them in a bowl with some nesting materials because i dont have anything else to put them in. in another cage i have a (lutino) hen and a cock in a nesting box and then one chick out of the 6 eggs that hatched. (the other 5 were duds). so im wondering if i should take the eggs from the one cage and put it with the lutino hen and her chick. the lution’s chick is about 18 days old, and the the first egg was lain 16 days ago.

and i have another question. in this third cage i have a hen that is on her second set of eggs this year. i didnt think that she would lay anymore (thats why i put the lutino and the male in the box) because she wasn’t in the cage with her mate, but i did see her doing it with this other male one time (which i didnt think would happen….) right now i have them in the best thing i could find that is close to a nesting box. shes in a popcorn box that has the top opened, and its on its side, on the bottom of the cage, but its really short and she cant really stand up on it. so would it be better just to put a bowl in there wit nesting things or no nesting things?

oh, thats alot. please help me.
the one that was 5 months old ate her egg. SHE ATE IT. or something. it was all gone and there were little white flecks on the bottom of the thing…

How do you keep a stranded baby bird alive?

Posted on September 5, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

A bird made a nest in our garage. Since I noticed the bird in there I have been leaving the back garage door open so it could come in and out. Today I walked in the garage and saw a baby bird laying dead on the floor. I decided to get a chair to see if there were any more babies in the nest (I had never gotten anywhere near the nest prior to this because I no birds will abandon them if you do). There wasn’t a bird in the nest but the last one had crawled out of it’s nest and was about to fall to it’s death like it’s sibling so I decided to bring it inside. My kids went down to the store and got some night crawlers (worms). We cut four small pieces off of one of the worms and the little bird gobbled them right up. What about water? Do baby birds drink water or do they get that from the worms? Am I waisting my time trying to save the bird? I took the birds nest and placed it in a box and that is where the little bird is right now. That will have to work until I can figure out something else. Any ideas? How do I keep it alive until it is old enough to go free. Right now it can hardly move around or open it’s eyes. No feathers either!

my boyfriend found a baby crow what should we do with it?

Posted on June 21, 2010 by admin| 11 Comments

My boyfriend found a baby crow on the floor where he works, he looked very weak and next to him was a sibling of his which had sadly died. He waited a day to see if a larger crow returned to the bird but they never did, so he decided to take the bird home. we dont really know what to do with the little bird now, and theres no wild animal centre any where near where we live. were not sure what to feed him and how often and not sure whether to take him back to where he was found even though the parents did not return that day. please can someone give us some advice on what to do it would be much appreciated. thank you
