What do u feed a sparrow?

Posted on January 10, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I found an abandoned, injured sparrow on the street today. I took it home rather than leaving it out to die. I am taking care of it until i find a vet or an wildlife reserve. I am heading out tmw to search for one that specializes in birds… in the meantime what can i do to help the bird, do i feed it milk, water or salad etc. It is winter right now, so i doubt i will find any worms or anything like that. Please no snide remarks, i dont know much about taking care of birds, please help! i dont want this sweet creature to die. thanks.. ciao

Has anyone seen a grey squirrel with solid white ears?

Posted on December 27, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

No this is not a joke. I have many bird and actually enjoy the antics of the tree rats. I have fox squirrel and greys. Last several years some the greys have solid white ears and larger then most greys. Asked our local Ag. Agent and many wildlife buffs. I did online seaches also too with no answers. One know it all farmer thought they were wanna be albino squirrels.
We enjoy these white eared tree rats and feed them. Does anyone have any info about them?

What can I do about my neighbors – they feed the birds by dumping 50 pounds of birdfood on the ground?

Posted on May 17, 2011 by admin| 14 Comments

I like feeding wildlife too, don’t get me wrong but his pile of seeds attracts pigeons, squirrels, rats and who knows what else. When the seeds get rotten, he hoses the whole mess down and it floods my yard! Oh yes, we live in a big city, not a rural area.

Right now there are over 30 pigeons out on the electric and phone wires and they are making a mess on everything.
