Cat caught a bird and want to know what to do?

Posted on March 17, 2012 by admin| 11 Comments

My cat was messing with a bird looks like a female finch ( http://animals.timduru.org/dirlist/bird/misc/SudiaBirdPhoto_089-PurpleFinch-Female.jpg ) something like that. It is about 3 inches so I am assuming it is not a baby. The only thing is it seems really mellow which i wouldn’t incorporate with a adult wild bird. What should i try to do with it such as feeding and watching over it. It doesn’t fly but has flapped its wings…it doesn’t seem hurt just maybe alittle shocked. What should I do
The bird just flew….made it maybe 25 feet…seemed rather healthy but just a little weak to fly further… At this point should i just keep it in a box and give it a couple hours of rest or what?

There’s a bird on the window?

Posted on March 15, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Okay just yesterday, I saw this bird on my uncle’s window. There was a nest but no eggs so I thought I should wait. Then I tried feeding it with a bread, but the bird refuses to eat it and then it flew away. And then just this morning it came back, and a couple of hours ago the egg was there already. And about an hour ago the bird disappeared again. Is it out to get some food? how long will it take for the eggs to hatch? it’s just a typical wild bird though…
I think it’s a finch. It’s as big as a 13-years old’s palm. It’s gray-ish. And yeah, that’s about it.

I have what we think is a fledgeling sparrow on the back patio. Should we attempt ot feed it? How? What?

This is a wild bird, not a pet. The small bird is two toned, with darker top and lighter belly. It has a relatively small beak with a patch of yellowish skin on either side of the beak under its eyes. It seems fully feathered, with a few pin feathers at its throat. It isn’t obviously injured, but it doesn’t appear to be able to fly.
It survived the first night in a box (we found it late last night), but we tried to return it to a nest first thing this morning. It immediately hopped out of the nest, and before long was stranded on the ground again. We’ve since decided that the nest we thought it was out of is probably a different species – it’s an oriel nest – and all the other nests are far too high for us to reach to return him.
I might add that we are in West Texas, and about 50 miles from a pet store that might sell meal worms.

Other than letting nature take its course, is there anything we can do to help the bird survive?

I have a flycatcher. I know he is a wild bird, but he chose to come live with me. He was on my husband’s car last summer when he got out of work and he opened the door, the bird flew in and rode home on his shoulder.
We had to feed him bird formula for the entire winter because he wouldn’t take solids until the past month. I’m not sure what to feed him because flycatchers aren’t pets and there aren’t a lot of resources for me. On a daily basis I’ve been giving him mealworms, blueberries, some cockatiel bird seed (He eats them in small amounts, though I don’t know if he should eat them, which is why I ask), and some millet (also not sure if this is good but he likes it). I have given him strawberries and I also give him all the potato bugs or spiders from my basement.
I’ve tried to train him to feed himself but he’s clueless. He wont eat unless I give it to him on a skewer or I put it in his dish. I can’t set him free but I want him to be happy. How can I make him happy??
