Is my bird dying? She is sitting oddly on her eggs.?

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My lovebird layed 3 eggs. she does not have a mate or a nest box. She is sitting on the eggs with her head on floor of the cage, her wings slightly unfurled and her butt slightly raised. She did not do this the last time she laid eggs. Should I take the eggs out? IS she eggbound?

What is the best way to tame a cockatiel bird.?

Posted on December 30, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

I feed and water the everyday but it flies away from me and doesn’t want me to touch it. I have clipped its wings one time and the bird was very distressed and I don’t want to stress it out but is it ok for me to force the bird to let me hold it?

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.

Baby Tree Swallow out of nestbox, on the ground but not flying…?

Posted on June 29, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I posted here because I know many who garden put out nest boxes. These babies should be ready to go, there is one perched half way out of the box. The parents keep coming around, but one baby is on the ground hopping forward and trying to take off, but can’t. He spreads his wings and tries to flap them but then just tips forward. When the parents bring him something to eat, he flaps his wings very hard and fast to have them bring him food, so I don’t think he has a broken wing. I’m not sure if he was pushed out by another or tried to take off and fell out. I just noticed this about 1/2 hour ago.

Has anyone had this happen to them if you use nest boxes? I’ve had tree swallows and blue birds for the past four years and never had this.

i’m trying to take care of a baby crow but need advice and help? 10pts?

Posted on May 21, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

today at my friend’s house we found a baby crow that was almost mulled by dogs. its not fully feathered. its a gray color. it has feathers on its wings and back but still has plenty of that fuzzy stuff on its belly, around the face, and has some naked areas as well. it can walk a bit, but is no way able to fly. we couldnt find the nest anywhere, so i took at home and will do my best to care for it. neither of our parents want to go through the trouble of contacting animal shelter, sayings its a stupid idea for a common black crow, but are allowing me to keep it. it ate a few bites of bread dipped in milk that i offered it, and now its being quiet (before it was squawking like crazy). its in a newspaper covered box (the box is 1ft wide, 2ft long) and has a second smaller enclosed box to hide in if it gets scared. i dont know what else i can do. do u have any ideas? i really wanna try to raise this lil bird. oh, but how often do i feed it? how much? any ideas on how to tell?
