My cat brought inside 2 baby birds, what should I do?

Posted on January 11, 2012 by admin| Leave a comment

My cat brought in 2 baby birds, one at a time. I think they may be baby finches. They are both covered in feathers but are unable to fly. The first one seems to have a broken wing. Probably from my cat. The other has lost a bit of blood but I am unsure of whether it is serious or not. I have them both in my chicken brooding box with the light on. Here is a picture of each of them:

The first one moved over to the corner of the box after I put its sibling in. I followed my cat to where she found them but I couldn’t find the nest. It’s night here at the moment so I don’t think I will be able to find it right now.

What should I do? What do you feed baby birds?
It’s too late at night to be able to call anyone or buy anything from the shops.
My cat is not a hunter. This is the first time she has ever caught a bird. She has only ever caught mice. At the moment it is too late to do anything. I live in Australia in a small town area, I am not sure if I will be able to get any help here =/

Found a baby bird with a broken wing… What Now?!?

Posted on June 30, 2011 by admin| 5 Comments

i found two baby birds fall out of its nest in my backyard, so i tried to put them back but wasn’t able to. so i laid out a plastic box filled with newspaper, put them in it and set them outside away from the house. the mother comes to take care of them. then today one of the baby birds were ready to take on the real world and flew off, leaving the other one alone. i check the the bird that stayed. it seemed healthy and looked like it was ready to fly as well, but then i looked closer and saw that one of its wings weren’t growing right, so it couldn’t fly away. i’m not sure if it happened when it fell off of its nest or just a birth defect. i need some serious help of what to do. i am completely out of ideas on this one.

my fiance and I found a bird with a broken leg and part of his back wing tore off. We put it in a box with dead grass shaped like a nest and put water in a small bowl tilted towards him a little. Is there anything special i should do before I take him to the vet tomorrow????
by the way i live in the midwest and it’s a grey bird, anyone know what kind it could be?

Help my kittens got a baby black bird?

Posted on May 15, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

Heard it screaming and chased the cats off now I got it in a shoe box. It seems to be fully covered no skin and feathers are well formed. Dont know how hurt it is as it was bleeding a little under its wing. What can I feed it and know of any where here in nj that will take it? Or can I put it in a nest in the morning? I heard that birds will take care of baby birds even if not their own.
Thank you all for the replies. You should be happy to know…I hope… That I took her or him, to a vet at pet co. She was an aviary specialist who said that the bird was not too badly hurt and would probably make it. They are sending it to Mercer county wildlife center and will rehab it and send it back to the wild if they could. They never charged me a penny while I was willing to pay…. I will be sending a donation to the wildlife center. They even told me to call back frequently for updates….. I feellllllll sooooooooo muchhhhhhhh betterrrrrrrr.
For all of you who keep telling me to keep my cat indoors….@##@#@#.
I take care of ferals in my neighborhood. I have had them spayed and nuetered payed for shots and 3 daily feedings. If not they would have been put to sleep. Since when have cats NOT been part of the wild. Just because some people domesticated them…..( i have 2 that I took in and bottle fed and LOVE like my babies) does not mean that they should not be in their natural inviroment. They are part of nature…….So I agree that bells will not help but try to put a bell on a feral or tell it nooooooo. The ferals deserve love too.

An entertaining video and photos of me feeding a hummingbird on my lap and up close with the hummingbird eating from a bird feeder that I am holding in my hand. Nice bird and cricket sounds in the background of this country setting. Some interesting hummingbird facts captioned in the video.
