I found a baby bird and have tried to call local places but cannot find anyone at this time that would take it, so now I would like to know what should I feed it, how often and how much…this bird is able to stand and hop has feathers but cannot fly yet and is still a little unsteady at times. the birds size full grown is bigger than a sparrow but smaller than a pigeon. not sure of the breed yet.
I went outside at 10 min ago and on the front lawn was a little baby bird! just sitting there like it was chilling haha. i find babys all the time but never this breed…i need to know what it is so i can help it accordingly!
heres a link i found with the pictures of the same bird someone else found.

i live in AUSTRALIA and i do know it is a NATIVE aussie bird –
i called it Grimace cause its huge yellow grin 
ive raised baby budgies all my life and looked after many wild birds but not this one!!!!
i WILL be taking it to a carer today but they arent open for another 2 hours…ive got him in my old nesting box with sheddings andi chucked some woolen bedding pads around him so hes nice and warm and in dark. but hes next to me chirping away so please advice asap!!!
oh also…i will NOT be returning him where he came from…i have always in the past and the mothers come back =) but Grimace (lol) was in the middle of the lawn and there are no trees around it till about 10m out (and they are pines) so not nesting trees…plus my 3 cats are outside…no idea how he got there!
sigh.i hate when people DONT READ THE QUESTION!
dude its a practically unfeathered bird in the middle of a lawn with a street full of cats. i waited 20min and no bird came by. there were NO trees around. and the ones that were, i checked over and over and NOTHING
i hate people like you! anyway im driving it to a rehabilitation centre now so you can shove that up ya lskjdfl!
sorry but people like you make me mad.
I have had a male parakeet for 8 years now, and I recently got a new one last winter. I put them in their own cages because I thought after so long the male wouldn’t like having a new bird in his space. But I didn’t know that it was a girl! I thought it was taking a long time for the cere to change to blue, and when they finally got to interacting together yesterday, they started to ‘kiss’ each other and she put her tail up in the air and his pupils got really tiny! I tried to take him away but he hopped off of my finger back to her! Eventually he let me put him back in the cage. I can’t deal with any babies but I feel bad to separate them. I think they are bonded already now! I have never had more than one bird at a time. I would like to let them be together but I want to be pretty sure they won’t have babies. I read to not give or let them make a nest box….Had anyone had personal experience with this and what did you do? Also, I noticed that the female eats everything- the cuddle bone is almost gone in a few weeks, the grainy perch covers are eaten up, and she even eats the wood perch…I gave her the mineral block and she just pooped on it. Is there anything special I need to do for female parakeets? Thanks.
Hey yahoo. I am going to be a first time bird owner, and I was confused on something. Do you have to tame every budgie you get.(even if it was hand raised???) I have been doing research and all and It seems like everybody says ” well you have to tame it by……” or books will have headers Taming your bird, Taming your parakeet. And I am getting the impression that no matter what you have to tame the bird. But like I said I am still confused on that little tidbit of it. And is it true that if you get a female she will regardless of having a male or not she will lay eggs? And that if you have a female then you should have a nest box? Because if that’s the case then I will go with a male. I am continuing to do as much research as possible on the budgie before I actually get it. So I thank you for your time, and I would appreciate your answers. And please do not post a simple one word answer(ex yes, no, yes) I would appreciate it if you guys answer with at least a simple sentence. Thanks again for your time and answers. I really appreciate it tons.

I found it sitting on the ground in my garage. There is a nest right outside the door which has a blue egg in it. (It’s august though so I’m not sure if that egg is just a dud.) The bird does have a lot of feathers and I don’t think it’s injured. I got it up onto a styrofoam box with towels around it and put it near the door so the mother could have a better chance of seeing it. I was at the other end of the garage for about an hour and I didn’t see or hear any other birds. Should I feed it something? Do mothers feed at night? Should I wait until morning and call some rehabilitating wildlife center? (Couldn’t find a number for this, I’m in Vermont.)
